Ok Peter
Should of given you a cal then but was using
the ft897 at the time , with no tx on 500 , good signal
at the time , odd for mid day ? some cw on at the moment 1530
bst , but quite low .. may be the same tx ... noise level on
the rx is showing s8 to s9 all day .... across the full band,
interestingly the dsp noise reduction in the ft897
actually helps .. must be the
right kind of noise ...
As for the rx .. well in a direct test ,
swopping from the ft897 and the ra1778m , the ft897 was
giving a better recovery of the signal .. which is a bit
disconcerting .. may be the wrong type of noise for the 1778 xtal filters
(1.4 mhz and do tend to ring a bit if pinged) , but iv'e had a few
replies lately where I could not resolve the other station, I
think mainly due to the high level of noise a the
qth

Thanks Graham
Not a beacon but a call, computer generated. Locally we try to have a
qso weekdays at around 11:45 or at some time over the lunch hour and again
later around 4:00 it is a very loose sched with M0JXM Dennis and
rarely M0KHW.Ken. Rog GW3UEP listens some times whch is
remarkable and reports by e-mail because I can't hear him its my
RX or location (adsl noise?) that is poor but we should be
reciprical.
FYI the current rig is an xtal controlled GW3UEP (ala UK500kHZ
group) this week run off a laptop PSU very approx 35 watts output to a lw
up 12m - 40m lng. Tnx fer rprt, meanwhile back to the RX with a big
hammer.
