[ICOM] ProIII and TX5C

[Jan Robbins]

Boy, it is really amazing to see how badly the ProIII's are working on 
SSB at TX5C.  You can see great--top of the world--performance by the CW 
guys, while the poor SSB guys are sitting around waiting for the AGC to 
come down to the point where they can hear at least a 20-over signal.  
CW rates are three to four times the SSB ones or more, because the SSB 
ops are twiddling their thumbs.  I thought this had been shown in any 
number of previous DXpeditions, but I suppose if you are offered free 
radios, you take 'em even if they can't do the job.  Doesn't ANYONE know 
what a roofing filter is and why it matters?  They would have been 
better off with 765's.
