I separated this out from the "Future Radio" thread. Both of these features are here already today. I AM STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE BANDSCOPE (or Pan-Adaptor) WILL HELP "ME" in "my way" of wo
When you're tuning the band in S&P, you can see in advance when coming to a frequency that the cq'ing station is momentarily listening and you know to pause on the frequency for a second and listen f
GM Barry, Tnx for the input. It's a valid point. If he's in the bandmap, I will also know that. If not, you're right, I will go right past him and not know he was there. Perhaps I'll miss him forever
It's not worth it. I think you either go "whole hog" with a Flex 6K or go blind, dumb and happy with a classic radio. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing lis
Well a BandMap is not exactly blind and dumb. $1K towards a new radio is already a good start. Question Barry, do you run assisted or unassisted? And the 2nd, have you used the BandMap aggressively?
Rick, I run almost 100% in the assisted category. Yes, in my more serious efforts, I aggressively use the bandmap. Here's one example: http://n1eu.com/n1mm/cwso2v.htm (click audio link and listen as
Barry, what are we looking at here? The left (blue) side says Main RX - right (orange) says Sub RX Is that the way your bandmap looks on the N1MM screen? Mine looks completely different, which is uni
Rick, you're NOT looking at a bandmap on http://n1eu.com/n1mm/cwso2v.htm - you're just looking at the sequence of stations worked on each vfo/rx going from top to bottom so you can follow along when
Let me count the ways. First, it finds signals on "empty" bands very quickly. Great for 6M and 10M, for example. Second, it finds a clear frequency where I can call CQ. Third, it finds signals that I
Well Jim, you took this a bit off of the subject of the request. I'm only asking what it can do for me to improve my score in a hf DX-contest. I'm trying to see if it is worth spending $1000 which I
Rick... you have already decided you don't want (or need) a panadapter. No problem... because NO ONE NEEDS a panadapter. Nevertheless, some operators consider it another tool in the contest toolbox,
You are right, no one needs a panadapter, but it can be handy.. My only use of one was in the mid 60's, on 2 meter AM. I had a Heathkit panadaptor attached to my converter-receiver setup. In those da
When I worked 2 Meter AM in the 1960s, I normally used a Heath Twoer. No need for a panadapter with one of those! 73, Steve WA9JML You are right, no one needs a panadapter, but it can be handy.. My o
Yep, had one of those too. You'd go deaf waiting for someone to call! :-) 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com When I worked 2 Meter AM in the 1960s, I normally used a Heath Tw
Steve, Back then, I started with a Twoer too, but added the converter/receiver and just transmitted with the Twoer. The Twoer's had very good audio punch, for a low power rig. I was at Westover AFB,
James, you must know more than I do, because I haven't taken any decision yet. And I CLEARLY STATED that I see merit in the Pan-Adapter for other applications and even other types of contests. I also
I had a Heathkit HO-10 with my twoer. Seriously I did have the HO-10 and used it to make sure my SSB transmitter was properly tuned. Most people did that back then. And indeed I loved my lunchbox! 73
