Oh yes, I remember the M.CH. knob. There must have been some function on that knob that I actually used. I know because I got a number of "half QSOs" on my TS-570 by turning that knob by mistake. Mine was configured to 10 kHz jumps, so getting back wasn't easy. On a few occasions, I had been recently spotted on the cluster, so I could find the frequency there. 73 Jon LA4RT ______________________________________________________________ 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
