Hi J.D. and thanks for the report. I've been having trouble with keying
not starting after switchover or dropping out randomly later. Thought
the wspr15/opera32 on 185.185 kHz M,W,F was still running correctly but
after even seeing that fail once I asked Bob, NK9M to bring the
equipment in for a look on the bench. But with winter weather that's not
easy, hi.
Bob got the lowfer running again last Friday but I noticed the clock
time for switchover was pretty far off. Apparently when he tried to
correct it things never returned to operation mode and the beacon stayed
where it was (185.2993 kHz sending QRSS30/60). That's been running fine
now for quite a few days so I suggested leaving it alone unless/until it
fails again.
I'll let you know when the beacon returns to 2-frequency operation and
if keying fails again.
