Well, I'm thinking fine. I should be at 4 watts in to make noise from my QTH. But my receive is pretty spotty. It's cutting in and out. Of course it doesn't de-un-squelch until I'm hitting the squelch kill button. But yeah, so it's flaky. It's interesting. I just got a $220-ish, 407 model of these. Spectrum Analyzer, tiny SA Ultra Plus from R&L. They got hacked so your old login won't work on R&L. You gotta call them up. But they're more than happy to sell stuff. And I think it's before the tariffs came in. This is a real Spectrum Analyzer. And it's funny. I looked at receive with my ground plane and when the signal's fading, it's actually like shifting the frequency of the cumulative samples for that channel. When it's fading, it spreads wider and it shifts up and down. It's kind of an interesting effect. I've never watched that kind of thing on a Spectrum Analyzer. But it looks like the propagation changes the frequency of coming in on it, depending on the fading and stuff. It's kind of interesting. But that's quite a deal for a Spectrum Analyzer. And yeah, it does 100 kHz to 7.3 GHz. It's got a calibrated noise output and a local oscillator output. And a little tiny whip antenna that works quite well too. So back to you and everybody. And I was thinking of getting an ARRL that rate the handbook, the six volume thing for $120. But there might be $100 around us last Friday. I want to get one of those. Back to you and somebody here, you could just get one of these.
