I am having a problem with my computer that powers my F5K and F1.5K, so I thought that I would simply put the FT857 on the air for the WW CW contest. Aaaarrrrgh! Got blocking from stations 5KHZ away, and ringing from the narrow filter....absolutely terrible.
So, I commondeered my office computer, put PSDR 2.2.3 on it, and fired up the F1.5K. Wow! What a difference! The F1.5K separates out the stations so well, its like no one else is on the band when I narrow down the bandwidth. The CW with a paddle is truely frustrating at times....can't key it well without an external keyer (which is around here somewhere); but, by setting my call and "599 5" into the CW memories, I don't have to use the key. The F1.5K is one fantastic radio. Have been working a lot of rare DX this afternoon at 5W!
