You can make a dual bander 40 M and 20 M easily by changing the
Band pass filter and the LPF. If no significant harmonics then without
LPF it is an easy task.

Is there somewhere older content can be moved to that members can access?

Hi all

I had a response from support. The reason there is no uploads button is because this group has exceeded its 1GB free storage allowance. In order to get the uploads back, needs the paid plan which is $10/month. Or, to remove some files to make more space. The current storage use is:

Attachments: 114MB - 11% of 1GB

Photos: 598MB - 59% of 1GB

Files: 332MB - 33% of 1GB

You need to set the IF to 11998000 because you subtract the BFO frequency from the IF.

If we are out of space how come it still accepts attachments?? Is it 1Gb per section?

You can certainly go ahead and delete all my stuff.? I believe the Tips n Mods is going on bitxhacks anyway.
