<snip> Last year, I tried using HO-68 on SSB with my FT-817ND and had mixed results. Most of the time, other stations heard my signal but couldn't contact me because my downlink settings were too far off frequency. A few months ago, I bought a second-hand '847 and I've been practicing on VO-52 and AO-7 during passes which are fairly quiet and I'm less likely to interfere with other stations. 73s Bernhard VA6BMJ @ DO33FL _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
