<DIV>Bill</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good news from this end! Calibration routine appears to work fine so far. I
am</DIV>
<DIV>now able to use Mercury as frequency reference for both 122.88 MHz and
</DIV>
<DIV>10 MHz source. Also happy to report that I now do NOT see any
frequency</DIV>
<DIV>instability on CW transmit when using Mercury for frequency reference. I
see</DIV>
<DIV>that the correction factor is not accessible for manual tweaking! Is this
correct?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also see that the XVTRs setup is now working (but I have not done full
check</DIV>
<DIV>on it), thanks for that fix!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One thing I noticed though, when using HPSDR system on the air (20
meters)</DIV>
<DIV>this morning, when switching back to receive mode, even using PTT (not VOX
</DIV>
<DIV>with delay), I can hear the last word (syllable) in one side of my head
set. I </DIV>
<DIV>also tried it on speaker and the same result. I did not have this before.
Now</DIV>
<DIV>two things have changed and that is your new SVN (04Jan2009) and
Mercury</DIV>
<DIV>V2.3 . So I am not sure which caused this or if anyone else has this
experience.</DIV>
<DIV>Headset audio is from Penelope J-6 and speaker is from Mercury line
out.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I do use my system for EME and have a question (suggestion) and that is
</DIV>
<DIV>regarding PTT. In the current PowerSDR, PTT for SSB uses the "DIT"
function</DIV>
<DIV>of the keyer circuit, but no PTT function when in the CW mode (other
than</DIV>
<DIV>clicking MOX). It would be nice to have the PTT function through
Penelope</DIV>
<DIV>board J-6 to be separated from the keyer. This will keep us from blowing
up</DIV>
<DIV>stuff prematurely if our sequencers are not just "right". Some of us
use an</DIV>
<DIV>output from the sequencer to key the radio (we key the sequencer
first).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again for all the work!</DIV>
