Hey all No you're not going mad, you did hear a MV0 or a MV6 while you were operating the wireless.Great signals from Stafford and some fantastic reports. A 5/5 with 500mw from the ft-817 though other equipment on bypass was good enough for me. Maybe a good bit of practice and confidence booster in the 817, its a super capable transceiver with the added bonus of being able to drop the power all the way down to 500mw. Imagine in a serious situation, perhaps a disaster recovery, maybe just a long weekend camping trip the FT817 being able to operational and be heard using such low power consumption is amazing, it means that even the smallest external battery will give you hours of time on the air. I Hope its as sunny where you are, its 29 degree C here in sunny Norfolk 73 de Mark - M0VST |
