> Today S/N 727 performed first CW EME QSO on 23cm band (during Dubus 
> EME Contest).
> Used in transverter mode with 1,5mW output to DB6NT 2m and 23cm 
> transverter chain.
> Still learning, what was found that if I try to change something in 
> XVx menus then when going out of menu there is mode change and frq

> Compared to IC-910 used before there is advantage of variable bandwith 
> and shift, also XIT setting is comfortable (for Doppler compensation). 
> No discussion about TX noise and the others...
> What is good on IC-910 it is ATT level settings (for 2m/70cm input)
