I got in a CW QSO on the first day the new privilege became available. Pretty fun. I set up another bank of memories for the CW frequencies.
Then I was thinking that it's kind of difficult to check for USB QSOs in progress with the way CW is required to transmit 1.5kHz above the USB carrier frequency. You're listening too high even if you go to USB mode and open the bandwidth. It's cumbersome. My next notion was to program the CW frequency into each of the five channels but put the USB frequency and mode into VFO B for each memory. That way I can just hit the A/B switch to monitor the channel on USB, tuned properly, proper bandwidth. If OK, I go back to VFO A and put out a call. With an asterisk in front of each channel's name, I can use VFO A to "channel" hop up and down the five channel band. One minor problem here is that VFO B doesn't follow along with the channel hopping. It might be useful if it did so. 73- Nick, WA5BDU ______________________________________________________________ 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
