Terry: Generally NOT while transmitting, but sometimes, esp. while QRP (e.g in ARRL CW SS) I'll find that I'm smack on top of (well... UNDER) a bigger signal, making it hard for the other guy to hear me... if I jump freq. even a small bit while NOT trans- mitting, the other guy might miss me, b

One of our Field Testers has done this, but I would not be surprised to see Elecraft eventually offer something similar as a standard product. Below are the FT's comments (sans callsign) since I doubt he wants a lot of queries about it. 73, Bill W4ZV On 2008-12-13, at 13:30 , wrote: >
