Re: 365 Challenge and 30m Mike W4BZM #70660 Joe, Thanks for working me last night under difficult conditions. My first PSK-31 QSO on 30 meters! Congrats on the 366. I still have five more days to go, but unfortunately three of those days are in 2023, including one in October! (My niece scheduled her out-of-state wedding on a day I needed. Very inconsiderate of her…) Mike W4BZM

Re: TS-890 Issues malcolm heard #70652 I use hrd with icom 7300 and 705 for psk When I switch radios I have to go to an hrd Soundcard page and change the correct codec port for recieve and transmit.
