YAY!!!
I'll have to start checking back in I'd all but given up on ECN but
now that Tom is back I can start checking in again. :)
As far as speed goes Tom usually pops up and down to follow people being
one of the slower people on the net I find that very nice and it works
quite well for me.
Hell many of the CW ops can't zero beat a signal and get onto frequency
when answering my CW what makes us think that SSB ops are going to be
any better about it?

That only works if everyone has an accurately calibrated frequency
reference. Even if you have calibrated things its only as good as your
reference is to begin with.

CW is a "tone" and its not illegal to transmit... So long as you're
within your licenses limits and in band.

There already is a feature that allows you to set the SSB level slightly
higher than that of the CW output.

I'd say that transmitting a tone to allow someone to tune up to you
would be considered a "Brief transmission necessary to make adjustments
to the station" and/or Brief transmissions necessary to establishing
two-way communications with other stations"
There is nothing that prohibits transmission
Are you sure your power supply isn't sagging too much? Can you supply
enough current for the rig?

The only problem is that the location with the dynamic IP is the station in
which he's connecting from. And if he was to lock down the connection at
the firewall to an IP he'd have to change that whenever he got a new dynamic
address.
It's a bad idea to tie a secure connection to a resolveable
So I was recently reading about the IC756ProIII and noticed that it said its
tuner was rated for 3:1? Does that really mean that you have to have a 3:1
or better SWR or it can't tune it? I'm assuming that my antenna which is
resonant for 40,20,15, and 10 would not be able to be tuned up on 80 wit
I did notice the 5-pole filters going up but those are something that
Elecraft isn't even making so those are probably more out of their control
than you think... The KPA seems to be in line with the delta between the
QRP and QRO versions.

The answer is the K3 FAQ (still a good document to check out)
