I noticed my marker line was getting chopped up at times on both Spectrum Lab screens. At first I thought it was another strong carrier off-screen for the SL display but still within the 500-Hz Cw fi
Thanks to everyone for last night's fun. I have uploaded some screen captures... using Stefan's usr: 19.jpg first blood - DK7FC visible on 136.172 and Mal showing a bit higher 20.jpg .. 22.jpg these
Aha! I think you fellows are both starting to be copied here now. Looks slightly better contrast on the VE2IQ usr - probably because the scroll rate is a little slower. Stefan is at exactly 136.172 a
I just started up an ARGO screen using the same input signal. I'd like to compare ARGO vs Spectrum Lab and also my QTH here vs Jay's QTH nearer the ocean. I'll post the ARGO screens later. Bill VE2IQ

Grabber is on tonight in Ontario Canada. If I stand far back and squint I'd say there was a trace (not decodable) on his frequency :-) http://www.nrtco.net/~ve2iq/grabs/ Bill VE2IQ This night i'm goi

Hi Stefan, group: Westmeath grabber is now active but the noise level here is horrible: I can't even see my own marker signal unless I disconnect the external antenna and couple it directly to Rx! No
Sorry Stefan, I only just saw your email. I am tied up with another project and don't have the time tonight to set everything up. Maybe next time. 73, Bill VE2IQ Well, all in all it looks promising a
