Hey BigBubbBD, what channel(s) do you normally monitor? When skip is rollin' around here, I'd say that 95% of it is from the Carolinas. Next time its rollin' i'll give you a shout.

Actually I do occaisionally! Since I have it going into the BR-21, it does between 75 and 100 PEP. I have a D104 handheld mic on it too to help out with the audio.

Bob, you have it plugged into an amp? How do you adjust the dead key on that 447?

I had it going into the BR-21 for a while. Now I just use it for trying to make low power skip contacts just for kicks. Never needed to adjust the dead key for the Sonar BR-21. I even had the General Lee on high power going into that amp and was getting 175 watts out of it. Its a tough little amp, continuous duty.

I actually posted under the wrong topic. The latest setup photos I posted (without the Demco Modulator) are under my post "My Final Shack".
