No, no. That kind of tracking I can do with the RIT, but on a crowded band there's an excellent chance that there are lots of other loud signals on either side of that little 400 Hz slot I've chosen. We need a K3 feature that grabs the VFO of a station halfway around the world and zero-beats MY K3. (Only when he's calling me, of course.) I didn't say this would be easy.
Maybe W0EB's "zero-beat monkey" is the solution, after all. 73, Scott K9MA On Jan 31, 2011, at 12:59 PM, Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy wrote: > Some form of Tracking Filter?
