I've been off the air for about 6 years.? When it came time to get
back on, I bought a used Pegasus.? That was about 6
weeks ago.? It has been a wonderful rig.
Now I have a question on the sensitivity on the bands above 20
meters.? When operating CW I have to crank the
volume to the maximum to hear the weak ones just above the noise.? Is
this normal?
It could be:
- the rig lacks sensitivity - Is there an easy way to measure this?? I
don't have a signal generator,
- the audio amp is weak,
- my antenna, G5RV in the trees, doesn't pull in enough signal to
hear,
- or, my hearing is shot.
Just wondering what experience others have.
