Thanks to everyone for the reminders on how to get going again.
What I did for this first attempt was tune receiver to 137000 Hz USB
and started Argo with no offset entered.
Caught MP first off: http://kd5uwl.freeshell.org/mp/0008.jpg
Mitch, what's your exact frequency? Looks like I was only one or two Hz off!
Equipment:
- stock R-75 (without the CR-282 high stability option)
- G0MRF preamp
- homemade G5RV up an embarrassing 20 feet (yes, about 10' of the
ladder line section is draped across a completely dead and dried out
bush)
- 10+ year old PC
- Fedora Linux (FC-18 beta)
- wine (windows emulator) running Argo
Will work on sensitivity and calibration and try again tonight.
