For the past few days I was having trouble making contacts on 20 with my low
dipole
so I figured it was just conditions. However today in the NAQP I called
guys with strong
signals with no response. For some reason I switched to the 2.0 filter from
the 500HZ
filter and the first station I called came right back. After doing this
routine several times
I finally discovered that I'm hearing the stations 1.2KHZ off frequency with
the narrow
filter! I used the TX Clarifier and set my transmit frequency 1.2KHZ low
and have no
trouble working people now using the narrow filter.
I'm not very technically oriented so I wonder what the heck is going on? Am
I missing
something or do the filters need adjusting? If so can this be done
locally - unfortunately
the manual is packed in a box in the garage like most of my other stuff so
I'm really
stuck for info.
Anyone out there have any advice?
