copy ok ???  how me ??*Fbh)]Fg0nbd g0nbd de m0bmu m0bmu m0bmu ok Graham good copy herT most of the time (.. A^s_ still trying to figure out the software still - btu graham de m0bmu kkkm0bmu de g0nbd

 

ok dr jim .. well your signal is quite loud on the speaker ! 

 

fine copy 100%  what is your peak power o/p ????

 

nice to  work you for the first time ..

hr running   30 watts , racal ma1723/ra1778 with skanti  pa block .. multipsk ..

 

ae  35 ft top load vertical .. inv L config

 

ok ??btQJ4`xwo,g0ndb de m0bmu r ok 100% some QSB here, but still good copy when ur sig barely audible. Am running around 90W to 10m high, 40m long inv L antenna from EER transverter and IC718 with multipsk also. My ERP should be close to 1W BTU graham de m0bmu kkkR`^ijLm0bmu de g0nbd

 

ok jim fine .. well all 100%  even in a deep qsb dip your signal fell under the noise .. but still printed fine ... looks like a good mode ..hihi/..  i used  250 hz 8 tone in the past and this gave a good copy under qsb .. better than psk ..

 

your signal is very clean from the tx .. no splillage .. looking on spec-lab and can only see same as my ouit going .......

 

ok .. well  fine on the 1 wat erp .. after destroying my skanti  pa .. im keeping

power down hihi

btu jim ???

 

g0ndb de m0bmu lost u suddenly there, was a bit worried PA had had a nasty accident again hi. Lost a few words in first half of your over, but mostly OK. Yes, output should be fairly clean since not really any amplitude modulation in this mode anyway - so could use class D tx and keep things a bit simpler. You mentioned narrower mode - I see there is 250hz and 500hz bandwidth variants, wonder how they compare - would not get as many complaints about bandwidth, hi hi. BTU Graham de M0BMUkkkSd

 m0bmu .. de g0nbd

 

ok fine jim .. well 100% copy that over again .. i pressed the rx button and the tx stopped hihi

 

well this was a quick test to  see if this mode printed better over the noise ...looks to  work very well 

 

could   change mode ?   8 x 250  that would give a good test ,  reduce to    8 x 250   8 x 250 ???

 

bkbkbkbk

 

ok graham g0ndb de m0bmu, if you QRX will try to change over to 8 x 50 mode now - pse qrx...ok  changing to  8 x 250

 

73,
