A visit from Murphy

LB1GB — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 07:29:55 +0000

Problem fixed! Water in rotor connector.

Our pro.sis.tel rotor invited Murphy over just before the Scandinavian Activity Contest. Was doing the last checks on the radio and software setup and everything seemed to be working perfect. Before returning home i wanted to listen to the bands. Usually we don’t have much time for radio except when contesting, so I was kinda excited. Now SAC CW is in jeopardy.

This is what happens when either CCW was pushed or preselect was used.

The 110. which is displayed once in a while is an error message that suggest a short up in the rotor.
