6m is alive with sporadic-E and lots of splatter :)

Running the 8000DLE here, 3 element beam pointing at the Balkans.

Hi Simon,

Where can we download the latest with transmit capability? I need to reinstall this on my new PC.

Thanks!

Scott

Scott,

Give me a day or two - I've just fixed a bug re: the 6m pre-amp and want to check the TX audio when using a USB microphone. I have to finish the current bit of coding as well. Once this is done I'll get the 10E onto the desk and start supporting the Protocol 2 firmware more as it's getting quite good.

Tnx for the heads up on 6m Simon. Managed to work some stations. Looking forward to your software being ready.

Still running Protocol 1 but was having issues with PS2 on 6m. It would run fine for a bit then it would reduce the output power so much that it would not work. I would then turn off PS2 and output would be restored until PS2 was turn on again and it would repeat.

Did a database reset but still happened. Not sure if it's a bug or not?

Hi Rob,

I don't use Thetis so can't really comment other than to say I haven't seen power issues myself using Protocol 2 but I've only has short sporadic-E QSO's on 6m. I haven't had any issues with longer 'old man' QSOs on 60m.

Sounds good, Simon, thanks! :)
