Please help the English language maintain some
little bit of coherence and do not use build as
a noun, as in Did we do a build today?
Better and already established as English,
and not techno-speak, is Did you build it today?
Is Eubonics next?
Thanks so much, 73

Any fine instrument which is a pleasure to use,
like a good KWM-2A, has great tactile feedback
from the controls (knobs). Turn the main knob
or the AF gain knob
on a FT-9000 and then on a K3 to know the
difference.

Do you find this with or without a 50 ohm dummy load connected in place of

If without a load connected, does the noise level on 10m and 12m drop if you

Jon,
Yes, you solder them on the back. That is an acceptable way of mounting
components, and in some cases (not this instance) provides better RF
performance than thru-hole mounting - you will find an instance where
that mounting is used for better performance on the RF board in the PLL

You could use the following macro till this gets sorted in the firmware:

A similar macro could replace your TX SSB equaliser settings at the touch of

I tried the tape, which originally seem to stop the problem.

I came to the conclusion the main culprit was the top of the PA
