Al, your comments about Jerry's book makes me wonder even more about what you are trying to do with a backward 4:1 balun.  With a BS in Physics and 30 years as an EE I found the book anything but a cook book.  To begin to understand what I thought previously to be a simple device I had to drag

As a long time high speed CW op, let me pass on an few of what I feel are the keys to learning to receive effortlessly at QRQ levels. The goal is to get to the point where listening to CW is exactly like listening to a conversation; that is, there is no conscious translation from dits and dahs

Anyone know if it's possible to configure all four of the above to simultaneously run CW Skimmer and SpectraVue? I have tired every possible iteration to port audio from SpectraVue to CW Skimmer with no luck. I've also tried VAC and still no luck. If there's anyone that's successfully tried t
