Getting much closer to hearing something


tony hanni
 

Thank you all for your assistance. I asked my club what connections I have vs what I needed. I honestly feel I have the right thing in. I do not recieve anything on the bands. Here is a photo of the connectors I’m using.

Unfortunately I’m not able to hear anything on any bands. Here is a photo of the waterfall. We’ll put in my couple hours trying to make it work again. Better attitude. Same results.?


 

Tony - you have SPLIT set to ON. Please tap it until it says OFF and try tuning around then.

His IF gain is too low to hear anything!

Raj - you are right. A more appropriate IF Gain setting for frequencies near 14 MHz is around 70.

I had a senior moment looking at those pictures and thought you were up around?14800, but that isn't an 8, it's a 0. So look at the waterfall where 14020 is located. See the dots and dashes flowing up the waterfall? That's a CW signal! There's a weaker one around 14018 as well. Turn up that IF and you might hear a LOT more!

So definitely raise the IF to 70-ish. That's the RF gain. (No idea why it's called IF instead of RF Gain, but I'm sure there's a good reason.)

Yes, I certainly received signals. Digital quite a bit

Steve you’re too kind to a guy who feels like a dumbass. I still have no idea why these connectors didn’t fit. Looking forward to making contacts!
Thanks again
Tony
