One idea is to find someone within easy contact distance that has a scope or panadapter, and ask him/her to snapshot your spectrum. If the Tx is flat-topping, it would show in the spectrum.
Generally, I run the MIC GAIN at 12-15 here, with the fixed gain set to RP.H. This is with a Heil Goldline using the narrow element most of the time. 73, matt W6NIA On Sat, 23 Mar 2013 19:15:06 -0400, you wrote: >I have a K3 and my antennae are 350 feet from the QTH.
