[TowerTalk] M2 20M5 SWR - WX0B SIXPACK

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Hello Mike,

Wich radio do you use with sixpack and Bandmaster?  I have this setup with a
Kenwood radio but I have problem to use Win-test or N1MM. This software´s
didn´t do radio control.

About more voltage as some guys suggested me, I have it in the shack, the
control box is 10 feets from the antennas box and my power supply is giving
it 14V.

Each one alone works 100% (Bandmaster & sixpack alone, N1MM and Win-Test
without the Bandmaster), but when I open one of this contest software, they
not follow band changes.

Thanks!!

Dale - I have never seen a post on this reflector complaining about the "six

pack" - that being said, I can tell you that I have had intermittent relay 
closure problems.  This has been a rare occurrence from the beginning, even 
though my relay box is in an air conditioned shack.  It seemed to happen 
when I "soft switched" the knob instead of turning the knob with more gusto.

I now use it with the Bandmaster and have never had a problem since.  I 
never blew an amp because I always listen first before transmitting - if I 
don't hear any signal, I don't transmit.  I have always have prompt, caring,

and knowledgeable responses from Bob and Jay.  Array Solutions is a "first 
class" operation.  No, neither are my brother-in-law!

Mike, W4UM

Wow. 'notorious', 'always'

So, when can I expect my sixpak to become 'notorious'?

That little blue box has been working just fine since March 1999.

HNY!
