Hello PA7EY,
Thanks to all who have replied, due to work and 2 sick dogs I have
been over stretched and apologize for the late reply. Hopefully
tomorrow will be a bit calmer and I can key a more worthy note of what
I have found and how I seem to have partially addressed it. I just
didn't want people thinking I was pig ignorant and ignoring all the
very helpful info here and on the other LF forum :)
I am RX'ing on my resonant TX antenna into my TS-590 and things seem a
lot better and I seem to be hearing in a more sensible manner,
possibly because it's a narrow bandwidth antenna? Anyway, more later,
thanks again folks!
Best regards,
Chris 2E0ILY mailto:[email protected]
