Yes, a nice Flex showing, except for my own 14 Hz error. Recalculated this morning and get only 158 mHz error on the 160 run. NOT my Flex 5000a's fault - must have been the pencil I used (had trouble with them in elementary school, too, IIRC). Connie doesn't give Mulligans, darn it. Jerry

Tim, Thanks for the quick reply. I have to say that the performance I saw on 6M has me really wanting to use this as my IF rig for EVERYTHING! The ability to spot adjacent activity in the contest was a huge benefit. I'll be eagerly awaiting this fix. Thanks, Eric kr0ver At 06:04 AM
