A great day…

29 of June 2011! Today happened something  I could only dream. A real SSB Japanese pileup on 6m. I shared this experience with my friend Spiros SV8CS who was also in the frequency. It will be something to remember in the years to come.

FTdx5000 digital filters part II

Here it is an other example, showing the  immense power of FTdx5000 DSP processors. Actually there is a very weak CW signal absolutely buried under noise. After engaging the Noise Blanker and Digital Noise Reduction filters, the SV3BSF beacon on 6 meters is emerged from nowhere!!!

FTdx5000 equalizer settings using MD200

I give you here some tentative settings to start with, using the audio equalizer of FTdx5000 and the MD200 microphone. Even this is a personal matter of course, I would like to share them with you, in case that someone is interested. These settings gave me a good audio clarity and enough talk power. I have to thank my friend Nick (SV7BVS) for his patience, listening every one of them and making corrections.
