I was txing on 10m and I listened on 15, 20 and 40. The noise level in the rx when not transmitting is essentially zero. However, when I tx on 10 the noise level becomes S 4, 4 and 0 respectively. T
It is S 4 on 15 and 20 but there is no problems on 40m with or without the stubs in the tx feedline. The 14AVQ is on the ground with a reasonable radial system No - I don't have a current balun in t

I am feeding an C31XR with separate coaxes on each band. I have faulty coaxes on 20 & 15 that I need to replace. Does any know if there way to access the coax connectors on the 20m & 15m baluns that

I am considering purchasing a Icom 7610 to use with my C31XR with separate feedline and 500 watt linear. How much filtering do I need to ensure protection of the 7610 SDR frontends? tnx - Syl - VE5ZX
Hi Has anyone experienced hysteresis with an Yaesu 1000DXA controller? Also, does anyone know of a 1000DXA controller - no rotator - for sale? tnx - VE5ZX - Syl _____________________________________
