Re: ATV DX

Sorry to disagree Ralph but with VK3RTV having an ERP only in the region of watts certainly not hundreds of watts I think the shoe would be on the other foot.Directional beams with some gain would wipe out any sign of VK3RTV. Digital TV is a very fragile transmission mode. Not that I am advocating t...

Re: FT-991 first observations

Hi Graham

Sounds like you are looking at upgrading from a FT 450 to FT 991 which is what I did.

Size very close 229 x 80 x 253

Can't help with 857 & 897 comparisons as I have not used them.

At this stage I have no ssb in memories so cannot help yet

Regards

Kevin
