Mike, Robert and I entered
the 2021 CQ WPX SSB contest as a team by networking N1MM
Logger to the remote and using the W7DXX call sign.
Mike and Robert did almost
all the work - I barely showed up!? It was lots of fun - and -
we won first place in the 5th call area in the Category: Multi-Operator
Single-Transmitter High Power.? In addition we were
17th in North America and 73rd in the World in that same
category.
Congrats guys - here's the
certificate:

This should be old news by now but just a reminder RE: DATA Mode
DATA Mode automatically does two very desirable things:
1.? It automatically sets TX audio response to Flat
- in USB mode we have a 6db peak at 2400 Hz followed by a 5 db peak at 3200 Hz - and a roll off sloping all the way down
to - 16 db at 50 Hz over the 8 octaves that we can control - this is
terrific for SSB - but - depending on the centered audio freq that is
used on FT8 this would be very detrimental and contribute to a very likely high distortion situation.
2.? It automatically sets the TX audio compression to Zero (0)
-?
in USB mode we have 10 db of TX audio compression - this is super for
SSB but contributes greatly to FT8 distortion - particularly when the
FT8 operator is driving with more audio than they probably really need to.
Work on the LP is progressing - stay tuned and have fun.? 73 -- Don N4HH

Just tried cw and ft-8 on 80,40,and 30.. I monitored ft-8 at home and it was clean with no distortion..?? All worked fine … 100W with amp off for ft-8, CW was full power
on 80 and 40. Amp on 30m was limited to the max FCC allowable of 200w.
Well done guys
?guess now days I have to say “well done folks”

Attached in PDF format is an FT8 Operating Guide written by Gary Hinson ZL2IFB - this guide is very through and full of tips - pretty much "The Book" when it comes to understanding FT8.? Everyone should read this for better understanding of what is going on and how to get better at using FT8.
A few tips for operating FT8 on our remote:
1.? Amp should be in Standby position -why - because at the current time controlling the amp power output using digital modes is problematic and can, and frequently does, result in 100 watts of drive to the amp thus putting it in a "FAULT" mode.? This "might" eventually get straightened out - no, we don't have a current timetable as to when.
2.? Mode should be in DATA - why - because transmit audio Compression is automatically set to zero and TX EQ is automatically set to Flat.? Otherwise, it's very easy to create distortion on the signal.
3.? ALC should be no more than 4 bars - why - because ALC over this creates distortion on the signal.
4.? Make sure your computer time is correct - why - because reliable decoding of FT8 relies on proper time synchronization between computers.? NetTime (? ) is free and easy to use.
5.? You should probably keep your local audio monitor off - several cases have been reported on other remotes where local audio monitors were feeding back into the audio stream to the xmtr creating lots of distortion.
Have fun - '73 es gud dxing -- Don N4HH

Dvve Herman just donated $100
Thanks, Dave, this certainly helps our kitty recover from the recent DA controller, SteppIR cntroller, and other expenses.
Perhaps YOU CAN PAYPAL A DONATION

KC6AWX JUST SENT OUR KITTY $5O VIA PAY PAL.? THANK YOU, ROB

Here it is as a pdf.

I have Teamviewer and it get's buggy from time to time.? IMHO, LogMeIn was simpler and better then they started charging for that.

WE HAVE HAD so much difficulty with TeamViewer that we have switched to RemotePC for system control and maintenance.
