Steven: Looks like it's working fine. You and I have been trading WSPR packets all afternoon. I just pulled this one:
2316 -13 0.9 10.140265 0 KC6KGE DM05 37 -13dbm is NOT BAD for a G5RV at 40' on this end with my FLEX-1500. I'm only running +23dbm (200mW Drive:4) so not too many people are hearing me. I just bumped up to +27dbm to see if more folks can hear me. What filter cut settings are you running for WSPR? 73, Greg - K5GJ em10ag On Sat, Feb 19, 2011 at 5:00 PM, Steven L Hess <[email protected]> wrote: > How much trouble will having an Antenna connected cause?
