Hello all. My name is Jeff, callsign K4LMP. I just joined the group, and wanted to say hello. The moderator was interested in what type of gear I had, so I just figured I would start a post, and say hello, and list my gear. I have an FT-897D, for which I have an FC-30, as well as an LDG AT-897. I also have an FT-101EX, with the external VFO, digital display, dummyload/wattmeter, landliner phone patch, station monitor scope, external speaker, world clock, and 2m transverter. All I lack having a complete 101 station is the FL-2100B amp and FTV-650 6m transverter. I have an Alinco DX-70 mobile rig in my shack as well, with a LDG AT-100pro tuner. My mobile setup is an FT-8800, with a Kantronics TNC for mobile packet, an FT-857D for HF/6m with an LDG AT-100 Pro II autotuner. I run the K4LMP-R Echolink node, as well as the K4LMP-10 Winlink RMS Gateway. I also run the MSYS BBS on our local packet node, so, as you can see, I have several dedicated servers running 24/7 devoted to ham radio. I am in the process of putting up my 60 foot Rohn 45G tower. I joined this group, because I have the FC-30 autotuner, that I orignally bought with my 897D, just sitting in the box. It works great, as long as the SWR is not too awfully high. I thought there might be some tips to use it more efficiently. Glad to see this group, and hello to all.
73's es God Bless,
Jeff K4LMP
