Ron - I'm referring to tuning the RX to hit the peak of the APF, not the APF. The ability to do it .001 with FINE tuning (or .05 in the next release TBD) allowed me to tune to a peak a very weak 9UØA on 80m that was much more difficult and less effective with the tuning at .01. Especially when the target is on for very short transmissions. In-other-words, real world experience.

If the other station drifts off-frequency, I just tune him back in with the RIT or, since I use SPLIT as my basic operating mode, with the VFO knob. In what circumstances if tuning the APF frequency useful?

In addition, it looks like the next release may provide 5-Hz increments for tuning the APF center frequency (presently 10). We're testing that now. 73, Wayne N6KR On Nov 3, 2010, at 6:30 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Elecraft continues to delight. > > FINE tuning ON can be very helpful on really really weak signals > with the APF. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft 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
