A very stimulating thread ! My thoughts so far : * A manual ATU(AMU)(Transmatch)- as already suggested - but with Quiet Tune facility. (I presume not easily "do-able" with something like the excellent T1...) * PSK31 (plus some other data modes...) - some kind of smart SW/HW package either stand-alone or integrated into a multi-band transceiver, containing the functionality of TX/RX,digipan-type display - rather than use a PC..I have thought about my K2 plus a lap-top on a picnic table but the lap-top bit is off-putting from "power" and "stuff" considerations. * A T1 "enhancement" - add an antenna disconnect feature whenever the T1 is in the CW Status reporting mode. This would solve the problem of even just band noise obscuring the weak status report signal when needed. (Actually a Sierra/T1 integration issue, but I think of wider interest) 72 from George, G4TPV This mail has originated outside your organization, either from an external partner or the Global Internet.
