I tried using the latest Argo to receive VA3LK last night and came
across two problems.
Firstly, the frequency stability - presumably of my IC-706 Mk1 - was
not good enough for the 30s dot setting. After a long warm-up
period, it settled down to a ragged line that wandered all over the
screen. My son opened a window in the next room to the shack and
the Loran lines moved off the screen completely! Does anyone else
have experience of this? I believe a high stability oscillator is
available for the 706.
Secondly, I used the screen capture facility for the first time and
has several good images, then lots and lots of pictures of my screen
saver! Ooops.
It seems that a bit more work is needed before I am properly QRV.
