Thanks for the input, Dale. I guess I'll do it the same way.
In addition to the calibration issue, I am also looking forward to band
stacking registers...
The old Omni V blows the doors of of my 2 year old JA rig on CW. A few weeks
ago, when CW Sweep Stakes started, the new rig started to de-sense and I could
hear multiple signals pumping up and down (like filter blowby). The poor radio
sounded "confused."
I switched the antenna to the Omni, punched in a narrow filter in each I F and
there was quiet. I could tune one signal at a time. It was almost like the
contest was not going on. What a difference! I keep thinking I should sell my
Omni V but, when this happens, I can't bring myself to do it.
Thanks, again, for the input. I'll do it the way you did. 73 Joe
