Maybe the grabber lacks sensitivity and needs a Tweak. I can copy your CW
but you cannot copy me??? although I can QSO two way with Russian stations
around Moscow.
Because we cannot see our signals on a Grabber is does not mean there is no
Propagation. I am suspicious of some Grabbers because of lack of sensitivity
or environmental noise. Do not rely on Grabbers, I find the best way is to
have a QSO with someone that has a good ear and a good RX setup and also
transmitts a signal that others have a good chance of hearing.
