PA0O ham radio

 De afgelopen week  veel Japan en diverse VK6 27 November zelfs oost VK  VK2IR  korte opening  LOTW bevestigd d 6m beam DK7ZB verlengd to 7ele 9m30 misschien heeft dat nog iets geholpen tot nu was VK2IR de beste DX verder lijkt niemand me te kunnen horen of zien ook niet met de ACOM1000 er bij aan er komt geen hond retour!     Nieuw DXCC was Vietnam  Eddi Visser XV9T  FT8 en USB vaak gezien en  3W9A ook 1 ochtend YB5QZ en 9V1XX  Singapore na 30+jaar +  nu in FT8 mode VK6TM VK6ZLX VK6DU VK6APK  regelmatig te zien  De meeste DX word gemeld in de JOx0 zone  100 -200km zuidelijker     VK6ABS in SSB   4S7AB en DU6/PE1NSQ  ook gezien  maar PSK krijgt niet alles mee

  I wanted to receive 2m with the good band panorama of the Flex6500. This offers  a different experience seeing what happens on the band without tuning all the time. Also at HF using split the pan adapter is very useful. My IC7100  performs very well at 6 4 2 and 70cm but it lacks the panorama view. I tried RTL dongle and SDR-Console  but connecting the RTL dongle behind the preamp without affecting the 144 reception was not as easy as I thought. I got extra noise when connecting the 2nd receiver.  Also tried N1MM with pan driver but I could not see the signals  I heard it should be the other way around ? possible I did something wrong. Tried an old DEM 144 but that is a huge box with Xtal oven and relay T/R switching. 12V 0.4A and start 1.5A to heat up I still owned 2 so called Ukrainian transverters , very small footprint 40x80x20mm nice build low priced.  low standby power 30mA/12V (real),  SS T/R switching no relay's.  As small as it is ...
