At last the Inrad
filters and receiver mod for the FT 1000 MP V finally have arrived, so today I’ve
been busy fitting them all in. A wee bit of soldering was required, but nothing
too difficult except I’ve realised my eye sight is definitely going downhill,
I found myself having to wear two pairs of glasses just to see exactly what I was doing! I’ve
also realised my camera is faulty so I will add a picture when I sort the problem out.
As I
write I haven’t reset the menu settings but will do this when I’ve read up on the
manual so I get them spot on. It should be very interesting to hear the
difference and of course I will report back.
The
ground radial plate for the 30 meter vertical is coming on nicely, I have added
the SO239 and drilled all the holes around the edge and begun to measure and
trim the wires adding a connector to every three wires. I hope it will make
some difference but the irony is I am getting out fairly well because today I
had a good QSO with a ham in Tennessee who gave me a 589 report.
