That was not my experience. Right out the bat we were occupying a frequency and calling. We were heard so well we found ourselves at the bottom of a pileup for the next two or more hours.
You might want to take a closer look at your various mic and transmitter settings. These have to be adjusted correctly for maximum effect. -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net <elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net> On Behalf Of David Fifield Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2023 6:29 PM To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K4 Rx is awesome... I’ve been using my K4 at 100W (per the FD rules) this afternoon on several bands. I am 1D OR. I can hear many many stations but hardly any of them can hear me. To me, this means that the K4 Rx is bomb-proof, sensitive, selective, and just, well, awesome. If the other stations had better receivers, they might be able to hear me calling them. They are obviously bogged down with on-site overload/spurii/phase noise etc. What a pity. I gave up replying hopelessly to CQFD’s from other 100W stations and went and did some woodworking instead. Much more satisfying. Oh well…. 73, Dave AD6A ______________________________________________________________ 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 gthorn...@thorntonmostullaw.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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
