Good Evening,
Sun, with a little rain, has made the forest green. It smells
great. More new birds arrived. The young Gray jays have learned to
fly. I noticed them falling onto the roof until they gained control.
Now they have joined the flock flying around.
The sun has a very
Yes, as I understood it, the Icom rise time default is a BAD choice, but recent
(e.g. IC7300 and others) radios permitted changing this to a better value,
although still behind the cleaner output of Elecraft & Kenwood.
The other interesting part of the discussion was the use of “pre
This is typical of what I see anytime I tune the phone bands from Yaesu
rigs, except that the dynamic range my K4D is far better adjusted. I've
been posting about this for a couple of years now. Around that time,
W4TV had posted general comments about how it was happening.

It's the "wet paint" conundrum. You just have to check to see if it is
actually still wet.

Hi,
Thanks to everyone that sent suggestions regarding my broken K2/10.
I tried all suggestions but still broken, I did find that the frequency probe
was broken though.
The probe is now fixed and have been able to go through the alignment steps
from the manual.
I got as far as the VCO
Hey Rob……I ordered it in January. I did the internal tuner as well. This
afternoon I’ve been loading it up into a EFHW 62 foot wire, with a KX2 as
the “exciter”. Thus far it has worked flawlessly!
Hope yours comes soon! I got the impression there will be several orders
filled now or soon.

Very nice!
When did you order it? I’m still waiting for mine.

There are some things in a transmitter that just should never be
adjustable. There is an optimum rise time and waveshape for minimizing
clicks. It is what it is, it's the best you can get, and there is no
reason whatsoever to change it.

Not at all. My understanding is that the receiving station was in the
near field of the transmitting station. The shape of the signal looks
consistent with the receiver being overloaded. I suspect at any
distance the signal is just fine. But damnit Jim, I'm a graphic artist

Many years ago, my contribution to a club Field Day effort was a set of
single band low pass filters.
Each one in a minibox with an SO-239 at each end. They seemed to help.

Yes, it looks like a strong, clean signal to me. Funny how in the so
called "weak signal" modes people will say that stations are "running
too much power" but the never say they are "running too much antenna." ;-)

How about publicly shaming the guy whose signal is occupying the band in this
photo? Or is that receiver overload?
