I was doing POTA yesterday with the V.5 shown in my avatar, when a caller asked me if I was [intentionally] running double sideband.? He was really cool about it and volunteered to send a short video capture of my signal. I've included a still from that.
?
I haven't adjusted anything for at least 2 years and it's spot on frequency,? so I'm loathe to change anything too quickly.? I also have forgotten or am unaware that any if the VFO or tuning parameters alter the transmit side of things.? Again, it's been a while and I shall be re-reading the tuning methodology today.
?
That said, i apparently misinterpreted or missed something before, unless it's a part failure. Would anyone whose good on the earlier models be able to suggest a good methodology for placing all of my RF energy into just one 3kc channel?? I'm doing about 20 watts on 40m, so getting the full benefit - and not occupying more space than I need - would be an improvement.

Tnx,
