Hello Jim,

I had no takers or reports so guess the old modes of CW, DFCW and QRSS are now dead on LF.

I'll put my rig back into mothballs..

Hi Chris

 

How did you get on?

 

I tried WSPRing last night on 474.2 on normal power but for some reason my TX kept cutting out 10 seconds into each Tx cycle.  I'm using WSJT-X in WSPR mode and the Tx is my usual IC706mk2g.  It's all worked fine before.

 

I'm running it now on 20% duty but at lower power.  I think it may be an RF feedback issue causing the interface to have a wobble.  I changed the patch leads and I think I may have a rogue one which is leaky and causing some RF feedback issues.

 

Chat later on 2m

 

 

 

With best regards

 

 

Jim
