Hi all,
Passing this note along from Mark Edwards W0QL, our remote station guru. This is awesome and thanks to Mark for all of his efforts to improve the station! Note: if you haven't yet "signed up" to use the remote station, drop Mark a note at?mark5293@.... Remember that using the remote station is a free service to all active club members. ----
Hi everybody,
The antenna tuner was added to the antenna this afternoon and it has added some new bands for us. ?We now have 20, 17, 15, and 12. ?Baby steps. ?It will be a couple of weeks before we can get 40 back, and get 10 meters added. ?We're lucky that 12 is within the capability of the tuner. ? When I was testing on 12 meters, I called cq and two Japan stations came back. ?Nice.
?
New operation. ? You must click the TUNE button on the radio screen after you change bands. ?Watch the swr until it settles down to a low reading, and click the TUNE button again to stop the tuning. ?Then you can transmit as normal. ?As usual, you can receive
on any band. ?The bands you cannot transmit on are blocked by the radio so you can't hurt anything if you make a mistake. ?Try it out and have fun with the new high bands and let me know if you have any questions.
?
Thanks,
Mark - W0QL
