[Elecraft] NG0R - K2+K60XV+XV144/222/432 - Setup Issue #2

[John Hoaglun]

Hi Don and the list,

I am making some progress but still trying to find some more power. I
decided to stop tweaking and take some measurements so we can compare
good & bad and try to understand what we are expecting to see.

The data is on my blog @  http://www.hoaglun.com/blog/

The XV144 is working fine.

The XV222 and XV432 are still having issues. I am going to go back thru
the filters again and try to peak my levels.  Any other guidance that
you might have to offer would be appreciated as I am starting to think
about grasping for straws.  :-)
