I just called an N4 from New Jersey - that op was 519 in my stock FL4 filter setting, otherwise in the noise. I received a "sri no copy". It could be that my ten Watts from my bare K2 wasn't sufficient - but that op heard me. What good is a superb K2 if the other guy isn't using one? ;) Ian, G4ICV, AB2GR, K2 4962 --
