Hi,

 

Just to be different I'm running OPERA (OP8) on 508.655kHz (that's the approximate carrier frequency, so you'll probably need to tune to 507.1kHz USB).

 

I'll leave it running all night tonight (Monday). Power is 10W or 100mW EIRP. I am using OPERA V1.4.7.

 

Reports welcome.

 

73,

Murray ZL1BPU

 

Good  luck with the  trials
