Yeah the thing to remember though.. when theres good e-skip, I bet you
can work people on a cheap dummy load. Thats why its called the magic band.
I routinely work people with my sdr-1000, on good e-skip, that things
pretty deaf on 6 with a 1/2 watt out.

Noise floor numbers only make sense when the receiver bandwidth is also
specified. -150 dBm is theoretically possible at 250 Hz bandwidth for a
receiver with a 0 dB noise figure that has a dummy load connected to the
antenna terminal (at room temperature). -150 dBm is believable if your
Thanks for that response, Clay.
Something is amiss on my end, it seems.
I'm seeing -145 dBm for the noise floor now with the F3K on PRE2, and the CW
bandwidth is 1 kHz. Last night with these settings, it showed -150 dBm.
Calibration error?

When E skip is coming in on 6m, you can work anything almost with a wet
noodle. I got on around 7:30 CDT last night and worked from the east coast
to the west coast and down into Mexico using 5W PEP SSB on the FLEX-1500. I
just walked the band using hunt and pounce and worked everyone I heard on
Are you seeing that in the S-meter or looking at the Panadapter in averaging
mode? Look at the S-meter.
