I hope that helps. Let us know if that clears things up (like
mud!).

gang----------------------------------------------------------------------Hi
all,I have the above set-up. When set up for transceive
operation using either the TX or RX VFO (i.e. anything but
"separate" mode) I find that the position of the
Preselect/RF Tune control on the "master" rig (be it
R4C or T4XC) has to be set differently for either max power out
or best receive "peaking". It seems particularly poor
on 21MHz and 28MHz band i.e. when set for best RX performance it
is way off peak for TX with hardly any power out at all. When set
for max power, the RX is way off peak and "deaf".
Ideally obviously the preselector/RF Tune control should require
no or very little adjustment for peak performance on both TX and
RX. Is it just a case of go!
ing thru
 an alignment procedure on both the TX and RX or is there more to
it than that? Operation in split (separate) mode is just fine, as
you would expect from the above
description.Any
ideas?Thanks,David
G4GTPP.S. Slightly off topic.....Worked quite a few
stateside this morning at about 0900 UTC on our (UK) newly
available extended 7MHz band, just available today (extra 100KHz
to take us to 7.200). Would not normally expect to hear USA at
all on 7MHz at this time of day. Is it exceptional condx or is it
just that USA is usually masked under all the Euro QRM in the
bottom 100KHz of the band! Do you US guys hear Europe/G stations
reliably at about the same time normally on 40 meters? Anyway,
quite a treat and all on the Drakes of course!
