[Lowfer] Trying QRSS30 on 160 tonite

[Andy - KU4XR]

Thank you for the report Garry :

Probably trying to push an old radio beyond it's comfort zone.. The wide signal is; from my
best guess, the keying process I am using. Having to key by VOX with a tone, and it isn't 
the most reliable way to do it. A keying relay is a project in waiting. I just got the new Osc.
installed, and from your capture, it is holding the signal very steady for a 20+ year old rig,
in a long keydown mode. That, I am very pleased with. along with the fact that you are
showing the frequency to be within 10th's of a cycle from my dial; again, very pleased.
Thanks for taking the time to look, and send the capture. Have a good night, and 73 :

Andy, KU4XR

 Andy, your signal is plenty strong as
 expected, but with substantial frequency spread. The
 long-term drift is modest and shows only a slight frequency
 wobble, but each character here is punctured by brief,
 substantial drops in signal strength. For comparison I've
 included a capture of Mitch's MP signal on 137.380 kHz.
