![]() ![]() ![]() ± 1 KHz max with temperature from -10☌ to +50☌ (FM) ± 0.5 ppm max with temperature from -10☌ to +50☌ (CW/SSB/AM) Big main tuning dial for easy operations. Receiver with frequency range 0.03-56 MHz, all-mode, and 3 KHz roofing filter. Rugged construction with detachable front panel and reliable 100 Watts power output. The tuner got the SWR down to about 1.5-1.75 SWR on 20 meters.Compact HF + 50 MHz transceiver for mobile and field use. The radio, the tuner and the antenna were connected to a ground rod pushed down about a foot into the ground. The antenna was connected to an LDG Z-11 Pro Tuner. In case you’re wondering about the antenna, I was using a Chameleon EMCOMM II mounted in a sloper configuration with the balun in a tree about 8 feet off the ground and the other end of the wire suspended from an MFJ pole about 31 feet in the air. While I cannot guarantee this will work for you, I can say that my consults with several HF experts influenced these settings. I recorded a video (below) of the first successful transmission and then later put together a spreadsheet (below) of the radio settings for future reference. ![]() I managed to connect to a station 700 miles north of me and another 800 miles south of me, both on 20 Meter at about mid-day in the Arcadia, California area. I watched a few videos on doing Winlink over HF radio, but pretty much all the settings in my radio were factory default. My first attempt at a connection was a failure. In my efforts, I reached out to the ham community to ask others about their equipment and settings. I’m no stranger to Winlink, but HF radio in general is fairly new to me. I recently acquired a Yaesu FT-891, a Signalink and a VARA HF license in the hopes that I could get Winlink working over HF radio. ![]()
