okay, the filters are driving me nuts! lol..I've been listening on all the bands. Very good for just a wire tied to my clothes line. Ant being put up this weekend, weather permiting. However when I [Fil] cycle through them the OP1 will not allow me to tune any SSB so that I can understand

I got my new RFC2 and installed it. Man did this radio come alive. Lots of noise on some of the bands but I heard something on all of them. I installed the DSP unit, built that up while waiting for the replacement choke. WOW the noise went away and all kinds of folks out there, and that with

Just finished the test part II. Receiving rf, BFO and OSC in specs. I am not confident that I have audio output to a volume that is acceptable. Will that resolve itself in the last section? I have low impedence headphones pluged in. I will have a HM-12 ICOMM mic later. WB0OMR

I setup for test #1, turned on power...NOTHING. Luckily I am using a pwr supply that shuts down real fast on overload. I louped all the boards with a 10X loupe so I just went thru the parts placement. I had placed the F1 resettable fuse into the 10 aux pwr slot right above it!... moved it to

Ok, confused here. On page 28 of the Owners Manual it says to check off the items NOT installed. If I have the SSB kit, which I do, it says to install them now. RP3 has some issues.. it says its a 10k resistor network and is supplied in the SSB kit. The board shows it as an 8 pin inline part.
