Comments:
Spent a few hours mainly checking Orion's front-end in 160 contest conditions.
The only way I could make any IMD products appear was to turn up my external
preamp to max gain. Also checked the latest CT rev (9.92.002) for Orion which
apparently solved a bug (auto-selecting UCW when entering any frequency). Now
it keeps whatever passband was set on the same band previously.
Heard a few weak EU stations the first day but then several fairly nice signals
the second evening, although they seemed to fade up and down depending on the
time. Conditions have to be decent for EA3JE to hear anyone and he was actually
making a few QSO's simplex on 160! ;-)
73, Bill W4ZV
