Interesting that Icom phase noise would be mentioned . . . a few years ago at FD one of the guys brought his then-new IC7000 to use as the CW station.
We had the antennas arranged such that the two stations (we were 2A) could be on one band with no issues. So long as both the phone and CW were on 20 all was OK. But when the IC7000 went to 15 it produced nasty phase noise in the phone station, which had stayed on 20. Maybe this is a long time Icom issue? And also something the ARRL does not test. The phase noise test goes out only 1 MHz. Maybe a quick check on other bands is needed? Anyone noticed anything like this with K2, K3, etc? 73 de dave ab9ca/4 On 9/11/12 7:27 AM, Bill W4ZV wrote: > > Bob K6UJ wrote >> >> I think that Icom is getting tired of seeing the K3's being the preferred >> rig for dxpeditions and decided >> to provide the IC-7600's for the Swains Island dxpedition in hopes of >> improving their image. :-) >> > >> From the scrolling banner on the NH8S website homepage: > > ".....significant phase noise has limited 15M operation but problem being > addressed....." > > Hmmm....improving their image? > > 73, Bill > > > > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Swains-Island-tp7562384p7562473.html > Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 > ______________________________________________________________ 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
