This week conditions were quite good, although some stations struggled a little to hear each other. The net ran from 1000 to 1113 hours on 3627 KHz.
Discussions included the newer firmware released to field testers late last week (2.97 and 2.98), which I found much improved over 2.82 but still prone to very narrow "spikes" at roughly 50 Watts when set to 25 Watts output on SSB. Fingers crossed a fully sorted version will appear soon. Several stations reported that switching the AGC off sometimes gives better receive on weak SSB signals when there is a high background noise, the results seemed to vary depending on the nature of the noise and may have also varied depending on the bandwidth setting. There was little else of note, I guess the K3 must be settling down! Stations this week were: G4DQP, Vince G0VGS, Ian GM3SEK, Ian G4ARI, Tim GM0ELP, Doug G0MJW, Mike G4DMP, David M3WCK, Colin M1PAF, Paul 73 until next week Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80, f/w 2.38, Acom 1000 linear, dipole antenna. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
