[CVCC] New Toy @ W4PM

[Mel Manning]

I am glad Puck is not the only one who sees need rather than want in our
amazing hobby. At Hamcation after visiting several vendors I fulfilled my
need  for and acquired a Heil Proset (headset with HC6 element) with a
phase reversal switch. And I also purchased the SDRplay (RSP1A) radio which
allowed me to spend a week getting it going with SDRuno software and
interfacing it with the FTDX3000, DXLabs and N1MM+ so everything is
synced.It will even sync with WXJT-X. How could I have gotten along without
a panadapter and software that controls everything. I need to figure how
how get it to create sunspots.
