Make sure that the amp's PTT line is not pulled low when you expect to be
receiving.

 I thought 40M signals sounded kinda low, and the noise floor on the P3

 STBY, signals came about 15db. No fault indicated. TX power seems fine.
Any thoughts?

I'm currently investigating a similar problem.  To speak to your issue, I
have not seen it at all.  However, there is something similar happening on
the frequencies below 160M.

Yes, Igor - good point. You really don't need WinTelnetX anymore unless you 
have other streams to consolidate.

 The RBN will usually crash at least once in the big contests. Either have 
 a
 backup cluster connection ready in the Packet/Telnet window, or use 
 K1TTT's
 WinTelnetX software to mix RBN feeds with other cluster feeds. I used to 
 do
 that, but the RBN reliability has gone way up - I haven't felt the need to
 do so recently.

 Hope that helps - 73, John K3TN
John, I do not understand why do you need WinTelnetX while VE7CC inself 
asily combine as many clusters as one may need.

I'm interested in the LP-PAN if you haven't sold it yet.
