>From one contester to another.... It is my experience that it takes more "set up" to get your transmitted audio to sound more like the Kenwood of old (nothing ever came close to the Signal/One transmitted audio).
I got on a "dead" band with a local who has known me for decades and we played with the different audit xmit bands...a LOT of playing. As W3FPR suggested, I say to make sure the "low" audio bands are bottomed out (minimum setting). That is wasted power unless you're into ESSB (not contesting). I know that the first time KT3Y got on SSB (multi-op) they were ready to throw the radios out, but that's because they did zero setup. Even though you say you have adjusted a lot of knobs, I suggest focusing on the audio band adjustments ALONG WITH the other advice (such as from W4ZV). I recently helped another local set up his audio (he got some complaints too) and the first thing I had him do was to shut down (max minus dbs) the low audio segments/bands for the xmit. He didn't sound bad to begin with, but for contesting, well, it made a nice difference. G/L de Doug KR2Q PS...your contest results do not indicate a problem. :-) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
