R: [TowerTalk] best coax/receiving

[Maurizio Panicara]

1) Forget the S-Meter, noise, AM mode, etc etc..
2) Ask a friend to transmit a carrier signal on a clean spot of the10m band
and receive it in SSB mode, AGC off  (if possible).
3) Ask him to reduce power (or to do something) until it's barely audible
for you.
4) Switch on your 3 dB attenuator.
5) Evaluate results.
6) Repost your impressions to "towertalk".

73,
Mauri I4JMY
