[Elecraft] K-3 Odd problem on 160m (second posting)

2009-04-14 Thread WN3R, Dick
I put up a new 160m dipole and SSB signals sound as if something is pumping the AGC while it's in the slow mode. SSB Stations sound much better with Fast AGC. I have a Dunstar 600 but since I am using the aux ant jack it's not used on receive. Perhaps I should reconfigure to add the Dunstar?

[Elecraft] Stop the skidding

The very best material for stopping anything from skidding on the radio desk is shelf liner. It seems to be made of a soft rubbery material that has a cross hatch pattern with holes in it. It's very easy to cut with office size scissors. I use it primarily for keys and paddles. Comes in colors
