Hi,

Not sure whether you've looked at WSPR? It can produce results like this:

In order to see both ends of the transmission, you'd have to use...

Hitdogg,

Welcome! You didn't give your callsign, so I wasn't sure which country you were in. If for example, you are in the US, I would suggest having a look at the relevant band plan, in this...

Thanks, both.

My inexperience made me think that digital would be easier to read, and more precise; thank you for putting me straight. Ok, back to analogue/ guages. :-)

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks, Jeff. Not familiar with Bird, I'll have a search. I'm intrigued by your mention of going digital.

Cheers,

Hi, all.

I'm looking to buy a VSWR/ power meter for my shack. I'm confused by all the options.

I'd like something that works 'in line', rather than occasional attachment.

My main interest is...

As all of these links are now dead, and sadly we can't get to Tony's (SK) original document, I wonder whether it's worth having a new Sticky post, with fresh info?

Thanks,

Hi,

Have you had a look at eHam?

Hi, all.

I'm very pleased to have just bought an 817. So that I can use the full 5 watts, if needed, I'd like to identify a plug-in mains power supply, that I can use when in hotel rooms, or other...

Wow, the hobby that always has something new to learn.

Cheers, Phil.

Chris.

Thanks, Phil.

I have no idea about antenna analyzers, but will have a read up, on them. I recently had a small QRP transceiver kit from the same company, as the eBay item, and the quality was a...

Hi, Phil.

Many thanks for coming back to me, and I few ideas to follow, in a moment.

You mentioned tuning your Ultimate 3S. I have thought about matching the WSPRLITE to different antennas, but...

Hi, all.

I've been enjoying using my WSPRLite Classic, and have used it when out and about, with my Android phone and SOTABEAMS antenna.

Obviously, if I run the unit using my Android phone...

How cool?

Chris.

Hi, Phil.

Thanks for your reply. I don't have an HF rig yet, so look forward to that option. As you say, the WSPR will work without an ATU, and results have been good, so far.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi, all.

I have a WSPRLite, and would like to try to improve my results. I seem to recall that because the output is 200mW, that an ATU would struggle to be activated. I'd like to buy an ATU, as...

I am only (!) 47, but wear hearing aids, as a result of spending too much time next to military aircraft. I'm intrigued by these Even headphones:

Brilliant advice and links. Better get my wallet out.

Cheers,

Chris.

Thanks both, for your reply.

My main aim is to upgrade the handie and if it helps, get a better aerial to replace (when needed) the standard short aerial, to hopefully improve reception.

Any...

Hi, all.

As a newbie, limited to 10w, I have a Wouxoun 2m/ 70cm handie. When listening on 2m, things often seem very quiet, even when attached to a good aerual, which I can hang from hotel curtain...

Hi, all.

I've just removed my CB from my Land Rover Discovery 1, and it occurred to me that I could use the existing antenna cable and plug in my Wouxun KG-UV6D handy, and use a 'Reverse SMA to...

Cheers, Simon; I'll have a look.

Chris.

Cheers, all. Just looking towards pricing things up now, and the Signalink was news to me, so I would have missed that out.

Thanks,

Chris.

Thanks all, seems like the 718 is the way forward and I'll have a look at the Signalink, as that's new to me.

Cheers,

Chris.

Thanks guys for your helpful answers. The advice about listening and sticking to the correct frequencies is music to my ears, I have no intention of falling foul of my license conditions. I'm now...
