Maybe because K stands for a factor 1024 in computerese? Just a guess. 73, Kjell, PB3SM - SM6CPI

It must be "km", not "Km".

I found some strange frequencies in his log in the "Notes for this QSO" field: 80m: 0/24KHz 15m: 0/22KHz 15m: 0/34KHz The last one of the above "flavor" seems to have been made on 2007/03/05: 40m: 0/6KHz Then they start with a different syndrome on 2007/09/22, the first one is: 40m: 0/7,009KHz 60m: 0/404KHz (probably should be 5404KHz) 17m: 0/18,103KHz The 1st and 3rd definitely look like they should have been split frequency QSOs, but "VFO-A" (or whatever it's called in Ten-Tec parlance) read back as 0. Has anyone running a Ten-Tec Orion seen this problem? It looks to be sporadic, so it's probably hard to debug. And he upgraded to an Orion II, which may have happened some time in 2007, based on the way the error syndrome changed. - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]>, http://www.ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
