REPLY: The reason I bother is I do not like transmitting even a single dit into an amplifier on the wrong band at full power. Yes, the ACOM is a tough amplifier but I am pretty conservative about such things. When I do send a dit to change bands, I reduce the drive power way down. If I can get the automatic band change to work, I won't have to reduce power or send a dit. It will already be pre-tuned. 73, Bill W6WRT ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
