Subject: LF: OPERA Question


Opera experts,=20

I have a simple question to Opera. If the program keys a PTT of a PA =
like a CW key and the operator can choose the frequency where he =
transmits, what is the range of frequencies where a decode can be =
expected from someone who set his RX to e.g. 477 kHz? Is it a USB =
bandwidth, so maybe from 300...3000 Hz, i.e. 477.3...480 kHz?? Can i =
completely free decide where i want to transmit on?
And if someone decides to let Opera choose the transmit frequency in =
that band (e.g. by using a HF TRX and a transverter), where does the =
program usually transmit. Is is accidentially oder is the range much =
more limited?

  I have found that if I run 24 Watts no body hears me. If I run one =
