Chris, What that tells me is the cabling was not connected up correctly for receive. You might want to check where the cables are going both transmit and receive. If you leave it I/Q your transmit might be backwards if that was cabled correctly.

Chris, I can help with #2. If #1 is working, I wouldn't sweat it, sounds like a software issue. To use the multiband settings in Rocky, there's an .ini file you edit, I think it's called rocky.ini but I'm not at my shack computer right now so I can't promise that's exactly right but if you look in that directory under Rocky I bet you'll find it. I think the top level directory under program files is Ameet or something like that? Just edit the file to add your bands and the center frequencies by following the example of the ones that are already in there. 73, Kerry WD5ABC --- In [email protected], "kd4pbj" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Bill! > > Now we are on to something!
