Re: [Flexradio] [SPAM] Contesting practices?

Lee, I use N1MM also. Virtually all of my contesting is S&P, & it is all SSB (so far). I start out by clicking on the spots on the N1MM band map. When the spots run out, I click on the sigs on the panadapter. 73, Ray, K9DUR ___ FlexRadio mailing l

The XYL has nomintated me as "Laziest Ham in the World" With that being said, I finally have my SDR-1000 up and running. It's very easy to set up and get going with. Wonder why it took me so long... never mind!! I'm using a Sony VAIO VGN-A690 laptop (1.86Ghz Centrino M, 1GB PC-5300 memory), and

Hi Elan, if you or a buddy are members of the ARRL, you can view all their product reviews. The ARRL has thoroughly tested the IC-7800, the FT-2000 and the SDR-1000. I believe the ARRL Laboratory tests will be a much more reliable starting point than any subjective judgment based on a single ha

IMHO, do NOT do the RX RF LVL Cal using SVN 1328 on an SDR-1000. There appears to be a bug in SVN 1327, that they haven't had a chance to work out yet. To be safe, I reverted back to SVN 1324, and the RX RF LVL Cal was working ok there. The other Cal routines on the SDR-1000 appeared to work prope

Frank I think the logical argument is/was: You use the sideband appropriate for the band when calling CQ on SSB. If someone replies using CW on the same sideband at least you may hear him and, if you still know Morse, only have to push one button to answer on CW. It is probably less of a deal if

I'm confused on a lot of things. But my question for this morning is? SVN 1328 Do I have to Calibrate Level Cal for each band? and do I have to Cal for different parts of the band i.e. 21025, 21150, 21300 Or is the middle of a band sufficient (no signal generator or other transmitter) ---
