SSB Transmit and receive.

Post by copper_106 »

I am new green etc. I have been listening on LSB channel 38. The radio, RCI 6900Fhp and a Wilson 5000 antenna. My question is. Receiving is 27.3852 and I am locked in at 27.3849 on transmit. If I was to try to transmit back with the offset can the other operators hear me on 27.3852? How does this work? Opinion on a normal transmit distance would be appreciated also with this set up? Hearing things coming in from all over.

Thanks in advance.

Hello copper_106,
Welcome to the forum. Like most RCI radios, out of the box they are a little off frequency, yours just happens to be not enough to give the receiving radio a problem clarifying you in. A good tune (don't let them talk you into turning the power to max) and alignment would get you right on the money but don't let that stop you from talking.
