Italian companies quite often shut down for summer hols for 2 weeks or so. Most in August but not all.. Simon

Hi Most mobile type hf radios have far too rx much gain, this is because they are designed to be used on inefficient mobile antennas, ie like my ft100 and ft707 I never use the preamps on these rigs w

Just one thing.. Not every stick works.. I lost my oe duo stick.. 4 sticks later I found one that works with the duo. 8 mb max..fat 32 formated i think.. Follow the elad instructions to the letter..pa

Hi It does not normally need any preamp. ( maybe for moonbounce on 6m.) I have never needed one here..( not moonbounce) But you may need to switch in attenuator below 10mhz to stop overload. Simon g0z

You could just paint it with a rattle can silver,( very light coat.) then a flash of rattle can laquar..see what it looks like and repaint it again when that wheres off next year...but even that will

Hi Whatever paint you use .(and yes 2 pack would be good, but then you need spray gun, compressor and min order is 1.2 l in uk.. abit over kill.) But was getting at . BE very caretif removing old pain

Or use a small active loop rx antenna for 10m on the rx in on duo.. That way you can null out the offending signal BUT still have good 10m rx in most directions.. Simon g0zen

I think i said that in my first post.. “in my opinion “ Stand by that though.. Fingers crossed that things get better.. Simon g0zen

Have you tried it????

Hi Sdr console is in my opinion better than the elad software.. So try them both out? Simon g0zen

Hi Klaus Yes a Chinese vna is very useful! And sooooo cheap now!! But its so easy to make an lc trap to experiment with..€2?? If it does not work then no problems.. It can not hurt to try.. i think no

Hi What’s wrong with a lumped Lc trap on said bc frequency? Could easy put in small metal box with tx change over relay? Cheap easy effective. Plus use hpf if needed for extra attenuation. Simon g0zen

2nd that!! Could you put it up under a new thread so don’t miss it please. Simon

I tiny lc trap filter may work.. Ie ( guessing here so you do the maths) A 1uh choke in series with 100pf trimmer.goes from rx antenna in to earth..ie not in tx path. And maybe a hpf Look at 1025/6 no

Hi For what its worth i have run my duo into 1kw amp pc controlled with another radio also pc controlled.. Audio via pc..no issues.. But lots of ferrite rings, good earthing on all shack items to sing

Hi Cristian Look forward to working you when you have your ham license..( hopefully without a roger bleep..😀) Simon g0zen

Hi I ment to say we won’t bite you.(.not bit you.) I started on 11m..not ashamed of that..50 yrs ago! Got ham license when 14 after working over the Atlantic with a handheld 2 channel ( illegal here a

Hi No need to get defensive I asked as I assumed you had a new ham license as you did hint to this. I was giving good advice.. I did not put down 11m..so take no offence please..nothing wrong with 11m

#eladsw2

Also please no roger beep..it causes “ issues” on ham bands.. If using on 11 m,( nothing wrong with 11m!) then do as you like, but you will get grief if you use on ham bands..everyone will think your

Hi Nils Well.. The 7300 is not all that..had one..rubbish on 40m rx. Only one antenna port..etc. Yes Hams are conservative but most are 70 yrs old at best.. The elad is wonderful but not as good as my
