The email address means little. Email systems will accept whatever you type in. What's more meaningful is the originating IP address. That's hard to fake. Most mailers have a "show headers" feature so you can see all the machines that the email passed through. - Jerry, KF6VB On 2

This underlines how important it is to use an e-mail program that displays the originating address.  That "you've won a ..."  e-mail from a major retailer is quickly revealed to be from some obscure address (not Home Depot or Walmart, after all).  A couple of days ago, I received a message purp

"Presumably it has some very sophisticated detection that can tell if a frequency is in use?" My auto trainer function is only used on 160 m and 80 m and only during the day when I expect the bands to be dead and as confirmed by the panadapter. It doesn't need a detection system any more so

*I know your issue is resolved* but this MIGHT help some people using an IC7300 with the KAT. I had a "kinda" similar problem where the ATU would always tune if I changed bands.  I had programmed the computer to send the new freq, then a "memory tune" to the tuner if I switched bands, so I cou

"I see some people are using HDSDR software - I did try installing that, but it insists on using OmniRig v2, whereas my Logging program (Log4OM) and WSJT-X use OmniRig v1.1 and I'm not sure I can make the swap to Omnirig 2." I use an RSP with OmniRig 1.20 and HDSDR 2.76a. Support for OmniRig 1

Dear Elecrafters, Again, I am late to the party. Santa brought me a SDRPlay RSP1a SDR which I had hoped to use as an IF panadapter for my K3/10. Unfortunately this isn't going as well as I hoped. I don't seem to be able to get proper panadapter function using the SDRUno software - it's perhaps
