According to what I have monitored on 75m, the way you are supposed to do tests over the air is to (1) connect the crappiest sounding microphone you can find, (2) put your transmitter in SSB mode, (3) turn your audio up as high as it will go, way past the point of distortion, turn on your leenyar, making sure the blower noise comes through loudly enough to make the meter read at least half-scale, then (4) tranmit, yelling into the microphone: "Audio - audio -audio - aaaauuuuuuudio" You can be assured that another SSB op will come back to you and tell you what a good sounding signal you have. :-) Don k4kyv _______________________________________________________________ This message was typed using the DVORAK keyboard layout. http://www.mwbrooks.com/dvorak/ http://gigliwood.com/abcd/ ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
