Thanks Hans,

I¡¯ve got it now, pity you can¡¯t enter a space after (and before if you have a 5-character callsign) to made the entry the same for QRSS.
?
Just got to get it to work on 10m (I have yet to build the 40m LPF), I did have a problem with the 10m LPF due to an intermittent dry joint (check out fine with a continuity check but didn¡¯t work when it didn¡¯t have a meter connected to it). In the process of fixing it I have made a mess of the LPF board, a coil wire came out of the hole and I could not get the solder to clear it, so had to resort to drilling it out, so I think I will be ordering another 10m LPF at some time.
?
I also seem to have problems with it running on 10m, so I¡¯ve going to try twiddling with the DDS pot as suggested by Eddie G3ZJO. The frequency is too unstable to measure most of the time.

Hi Colin
?
WSPR has certain precise requirements about how you specify the callsign, they are described in section 6.3 of the manual. The typical 5-character callsign should be entered plain, without spaces. Bit if you have a callsign with 2-letters, 1-digit, 2-letters, then you have to put a space on the right after the callsign. Sorry, I know it is a bit confusing.
?
One space after the callsign is recommended for QRSS modes (i.e. other than WSPR) because otherwise your message will just flow into repeats e.g. G0UPLG0UPLG0UPLG0... and be hard to decode.

Thanks Eddie,

That fixed it, the way I read the instructions I thought I should put a space after. I assume that it isn't required and therefore can't be there for WSPR then?

One step closer, just need to fit the Coil and hook up the PA. I was going to tap the Coil so I could tune it up for Max Power (something I said I would do for Hans as an experiment) but I was too haevy handed & broken the wire, so I only have enough length for 22 Turns anyway:(, hopefully that will be good for 10m.

Sorry Hans the experiment will have to wait until I can get another toroid and wire.

73, Colin M0XSD.
