Folks,
Spurred on by a renewed commitment to the monthly RSGB 80m data contests
where you work both rtty and psk31 I've belatedly sorted out SO2V with 2
digi windows in N1MM using one soundcard and afsk/data A on the K3.
You more or less maximise your score by working 50:50 psk31/rtty so thought

Jon: I can't comment on the KAT100 but I can on fuse ratings. The blowing
current rating varies according to type. For the type fuse I suspect you are

the blowing time could be minutes. Hope this helps.

Well, you could give a complete alignment and calibration, and during

However, a well executed line drawing with appropriate fills and shading can
