All,
My apologies to all who heard me calling 5A7A on his rtty frequency yesterday.
I discovered a very embarrassing problem with the IC-756 Pro II yesterday
which for some reason has not bit me before.
The DUAL WATCH button is right next to the SPLIT button. My radio sits at
45 degrees from the monitor screen. In trying to hear the other side of the
contracts I was turning Dual on and off trying to second guess where 5A7A
was listening. Suddenly I look at the radio and I am transmitting but no
longer in Split. My fat fingers (really getting arthritic) had hit the
Split button instead of the Dual button.
So now I learn to look before pushing that button - may want to think about
leaving it on but using the Balance control instead.
At any rate I did get a 40m rtty contact finally. Good luck to you all.
Jerry, W6IHG
