As you may know, WB5JJJ suggested using a separate frequency on 6m for contest

I routinely now see FT8 signals on 50.313, 50.323 and even 50.333 at times

Wes,
Max power output is automatically reduced in proportion to supply voltage. At
very low voltages the PA is bypassed, but the operator can keep right on
transmitting at QRP levels.

I've been using Alpha Delta model Delta-4 switches for manual antenna
selection. I thought that having the ability to auto select the appropriate
antenna with my KAT500 would be a significant improvement for my station. I
don't have a K3 so I created a band decoder that drives the KAT500 band
John,
The latency is too high, around three quarters of a second, of which
most (around 530 ms) is caused by the trip up and down to the satellite
and back. The rest is internet latency of a couple of hundred ms.

Hi Mike
Yes, the idea of frequencies for intercontinental DX seems to have taken off,
but not, so far, the idea of a separate frequency for contest mode, which was
WB5JJJ's suggestion.

I have similar issue and was told in this mailing list that the issue came from
antenna port isolation but it was within specification.
If you open the KAT500 box, you will find that lines between antenna ports and
switch relay are close enough to cause inter-port cross-talk.
I wanted to switch
I did in fact misunderstand that a 6m antenna was still connected to one
of the other ports ... I read it that they were open. You could get a
rough idea by listening to the local and removing the antenna(s) from
the KAT500 and maybe terminating the unused ports in a PL-259 with a 47
ohm
"I have similar issue and was told in this mailing list that the issue came

Ok, but where is the specification? I don't see it in the specifications in the

There are basically 3 components to the latency ...
The RT light-time [approx 24,000 miles] is about 250 ms and is
constant. There is a latency within the transponder, which used to run
around 200 ms, I don't know what the newer ones might be, if there are
any. That too is probably fairly

Agreed. In my law firm, it was interesting to observe which people chose
to broadcast negative departure emails. There are decent materials out
there about how to depart a group, including how to send an email if you
must. See, e.g.,
Anyone who has looked inside a good coaxial relay or switch knows that for
that level of isolation the mechanical construction one needs to provide a
more or less complete shield around the chosen signal path, that re-forms
around the new path when the swich is operated. This is complicated and
