Equipment Description:
FT-1000, FT-990, KT34XA, 2 el Hygain 40, 160/80 vertical,
We ran CT9.13 and saw many of the same problems others saw. In addition, we
had lots of problems with the Yeasu radio timeout occuring. We seemed
to fix it by removing the mouse driver. I think RF might have been
getting into the mouse although I am sure that the radio timeouts
occurred even when we were not transmitting.

I used to have a butternut 40/80/160 on top of a tower with the
tribander. It worked FB... Make sure you have lost of radials, random
length OK, at the tower base... Hardest part is holding onto the bottom
of the antenna while mounting it into top of tower/mast section. I had a
3 foot section which would slip down into existing mast with clamps to
stop it then used a GOOD wire jumper (braid) to electrically connect the two

Paul, YOu will find that the sledge-hammer trick draws a crowd at
night... HI! I found that by grabbing the angled guy wires from the pole
or nearest pole and shaking the he.. out of it, you can get the wires
moving pretty well. It sometimes works! and the noise goes away. Plus,
on Halow'een weekend, they don't think you are nuts!

Get the 250Hz filter for the 455KHz IF, and skip the other one. The
9MHz filters have poor shape factor and higher insertion loss. My
first Icom 765 was equipped this way and I've been very pleased with
all the filter combinations. I recently picked up another 765 which
came with both 250Hz filters, and there is a very significant signal
drop (several S-units) when I switch to the narrow filters on this
radio. I'll probably remove the 250Hz/9MHz filter from this one and
sell it.
