A trick that you might try is that when you find an offending pole, give it a good whack with a sledgehammer to see if the noise changes. We tracked down a couple of poles that were throwing some serious RFI out, and that's how the power company guy verified where the problem was. Seems that

Darned if I know of a set frequency for it, Andy, but given its' bandwidth, I'd guess we'd be safe just about anywhere in the digital bandplan as long as we don't park on top of another QSO! How about 7.078? 73 Dave KB3MOW -Original Message- From:

[digitalradio] Half Square Antenna

I used a half square on 17 meters in Colorado in 1995 at the bottom of the sunspot cycle. I voltage fed it with a parallel LC network and one 1/4 wave radial. The flat top phasing line was only 13 feet off of the ground with the antenna broadside Europe and the Pacific. The results: 100

I just realized that I made reference in my post to the 756 having good digital rig control capabilities, but in fact the OP said that the radio is an Icom 765, not a 756. I have no idea what digital rig control the 765 is capable of. Sorry about that. Jon KB1QBZ

[digitalradio] Rigblster and Digipan ?

2010-08-22 Thread Andy obrien
This claim from West Mountain seems dubious. DIGIPAN PROBLEMS If you are having trouble with DigiPAN stop using it and try WinPSK! We have had numerous reports of DigiPAN having a blank waterfall display. In QST there is a report of this which was cured by increasing the display colors to 256

Andy, Of course, DigiPan needs to be run with a display of 256 colors or higher (unless you change the default waterfall colors)! The default palette requires at least 256 colors to work, and so do Internet graphics. I have no idea why anyone in the last 10 years would try to run with less
