Happy Holidays All! I'm using FT8 into my KX3 in Data A mode but getting almost no contacts, On the waterfall, I see a lot activity on 40m and 20m. I've followed the advice from the KX3 manual for levels, but I still get very few connections, like I'm not being heard. I also run k1jt WSPR mode and that seems to work well, I get consistent results on the bands that are open.
Currently I have the KX3 set to 10w output into a 23' long endfed dipole 20' in the air. I live in an RV Park which has very very restricted antenna restrictions! One complaint from a neighbor about any RFI would cause the manager to tell me to take the antenna down. A couple of years ago I ran FT8 on my ICOM 746pro at 5 to 10 watts max output and had very good results. So, my question am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions would be appreciated? tnx and 73 Ed ~ k6sdw ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
