Hi Charlie,

?

Please send me your latest flow for the 3000. I want to try to zero the S meter during TX and power meter during RX. I do not have a 3000/5000 but can simulate them for testing the meters.

?

I try to be careful. My ordeal started in May 2019 and late July 2019 I was diagnosed with an infection in my left knee which was replaced for the second time in Nov 2017. They did a debridement surgery on Aug 7th 2019 thinking it was a bacterial infection. The leg was getting worse by the day On Aug 20th they found out it was an ultra rare fungal infection with only about 2 to 3 cases a year in the U.S. Hospital for Special Surgery and Mayo Clinic never had a case. Wound up having to travel to Philadelphia, PA to have the knee removed in Sep 2019. They immobilized the leg for 14 weeks and in Dec 2019 put a new knee in (my third @ 58 years old at the time). During the 14+ weeks they stopped my heart meds since it conflicted with the anti-fungal meds. I wound up with severe congestive heart failure, pulmonary effusion, and blood clots on the lungs. The symptoms were so bad that if I had those symptoms today they would think I had COVID.

?

So it has been a roller coaster for me. Dealing with pain every day but it beats the alternatives. They almost amputated my leg in Sep 2019 so at least I can walk, even though range of motion isn¡¯t the best.

?

I can¡¯t bowl anymore (was a 220 avg bowler) so picked up a new hoppy, pistol shooting. After 3 month wait I got my purchase permit and am going to try and go to the range once a month. Ammo is scarce and expensive so I think once a month is good to get me out.

Dave:

Hope you're feeling better. I went out for the first time in a LONG time, to pick my brother up from the airport. Had two masks on.....Fauci would approve.ha ha.
I got busy here with business stuff the past few days. I did try increasing the frequency that the inject node repeats in an attempt to make the S-meter track better. Still isn't great. I think that because the 6xxx series sends the data as a stream in UDP, it is much more responsive, but at least it's working.?

My 6400 flow (and the KPA500 and KAT500 flows I got from the repository here) all have the same issue with meters that go full-scale when the rig is turned off.
BTW, I did just make a deal on a KAT500/KPA500 combo that I will have in early March. (Now those screens won't just be a pipe dream).?
