Good Evening,    Another foggy, wet, chilly day.  Perfect to watch 'The Thin Man Goes Home'.  Somewhere around reel three the power glitched for about twenty seconds.  This takes down two switches, the router, the satellite connection, the servers, plus the computer in front of me.  Normally

Hi Guys, I had a similar situation at my QTH in SE Lower Michigan with Spectrum. Their tech came inside to install a new telephone modem and found high SWR on their line to/from/within my house. The tech replaced all the crimp-on coax connectors and the problem cleared up. He told me the

No experience with that antenna. However, among your other indoor antennas you might want to try a 'cobweb'. I have one in the attic. It's fairly compact; covers five bands 10-20. A while back it worked VP6D on all five bands; 100 watts CW. I built the G3TXQ version. MFJ also has a model for

Actually, it's not the W2 Utility.  It's the Elecraft W2 Interface Program. http://w4smt.com/sight.net/W2/W2_WIN.zip Dave Hachadorian, K6LL Yuma, AZ On 10/23/2021 12:37 PM, Dave wrote: Thank you for your suggestion!!  I must be looking at the wrong software, I have the W2 utility, and it has

Just checked out your QTH. You have LOTS of room for more efficient antennas than that baby loop...for way less too. Hey...you could even put a vertical on your truck and use that (nice truck!). They can't get you for an antenna on your vehicle. You have trees, you have gutters, you have

David I have a Baby Loop here in England when I am M0SNA. I’m happy with it but not sure I would buy that style again. Pros Amazingly well built Worked first time yesterday after 20 months of non use (you know, that COVID thing….) Quiet Marginally directional Great for FT8 or ragchewing

There’s an adjustment that can be done in the W2 software, not the utility, but it just fine tunes what’s displayed by the computer, not the unit itself. The software, IMO, could use a bit of modernization. Really wish it could be open-sourced. -- daniel.h.br...@gmail.com > On Oct 23,

Thank you for your suggestion!! I must be looking at the wrong software, I have the W2 utility, and it has nothing like that in it. In fact it looks like all it does is update firmware, and test macros... I see no settings of any kind for the W2... 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z)

My new home QTH is an a neighborhood where I am affected by the covenants and restrictions to no outside antennas. Not to be defeated, I am planning some attic antennas... Towards that end, has anyone any experience with the Ciro Mazzoni Loop Baby? If so, how have you interfaced it to

I don't own one of these, but I think calibration is done with the W2 Utility, using the special USB cable that comes with the W2. Dave Hachadorian, K6LL Yuma, AZ On 10/23/2021 8:53 AM, Dave wrote: Hello, Looking over the manual for the W2 I see no way to calibrate it. Did I miss something,

Hello, Looking over the manual for the W2 I see no way to calibrate it. Did I miss something, or is there a way to perform a calibration on the wattmeter? -- 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://www.nk7z.net ARRL Volunteer Examiner ARRL Technical Specialist, RFI ARRL Asst. Director, NW
