This is true, the audio was adequate, but not very loud; I could hear it fine, but with the Icom beside it, it appeared not so loud. > > I don't understand about your speaker connections, you will have to be more > descriptive about it. Well, there is not a specific ground tab in the triangle formation as illustrated in the manual. Instead, there are two terminals in line with a central rivet. If one was just a tie point, then I could use the rivet, I suppose. I was probably a tad tired to figure it out. > > You should do the AGC Threshold and CAL S Lo and CAL S Hi after all the > peaking alignment - it is OK to do it just the same way you did it before. > OK!
There is one teensie little problem left, and that is the paddle modes behave exactly the same. I had been using an MFJ keyer on my Icom, with the Curtis chip; I set it up to be able to switch between A and B mode, so I'm quite familiar with that. I am wondering if there could be a solder bridge between 2 IC pins somewhere, thus preventing switching between A and B modes? -- David Dawson The trouble with this country is that there are too many politicians who believe, with a conviction based on experience, that you can fool all of the people all of the time. -- Franklin Adams _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
