Comments:
Missed last week due to DX Convention in Visalia - was lots
of fun.
This week I drove down early and scrambled to setup
a new Flex radio 3000 to operate on RTTY. Had the usual
problems with cables, keyboards, software... but managed to
get on the air. Made one contact before NS, then waited.
As soon as NS started I saw the audio now had a big delay -
I couldn't tune right, or call with proper timing. I
restarted everything (seven minutes!) and that seemed to
fix it. Then it worked pretty well, although I forgot to
call Dupes. I had so many windows on the screen I think I
got out of sync sometimes - sorry. I had to stop and walk
around back to change antennas, so band changes were a
little slow.
Nice to hear some new calls - Welcome!
I don't know if I'll use this Flex again, but it was interesting
to get running on RTTY.
