Great job. Each item clearly explained and right on target in useful language. W4CLR
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks again for a great video.
Thanks for watching!
I am glad you posted this. I recently got into CW and was told about adjusting my band width to pull in those weak CW signals. 73s de KD8VSP
Glad it helped
Another great vid, thanks for your time putting these together!
Wow, that's my first time on the Channel and I'm much impressed! Thank you so much for this information on the FT-991A; it is very useful for my CW entry level as well as operating my new rig. 73, de VE3JCT
Thank you Jocelyn. I have a lot of other FT-991A videos that you may be interested in. Take a look at my channel listing - I've also noticed that if you do a search for FT-991A, there are a number of my videos about this rig listed there. I'm only been doing YT for about 10 months, so I'm always surprised when I show up with the big guns... 73 de Tom, ND3N
Tom your awesome ! what a great vid .thank you so much for teaching us. first I felt intimidated with my 991a . watching your vids and spending more time with the radio its all coming together ....great teacher. KI5CDQ👌
Glad to help
Nice, thank you..
Welcome 😊
thank you
You're welcome
Hi Tom love your videos but I might have missed it but did you cover the APF filter? It is amazing in pulling weak signals. Play with it sometime and be amazed lol.
Thanks for the tip. After about a year, I'm still learning about the 991A. I see another 991A video coming. 73 de Tom, ND3N
Great job, Tom. I do a lot of POTA and I'm always looking for best reception settings for handling pileups when hunters are all transmitting at once. The attenuator would eliminate the weakest signals for sure (although I do want to hear QRP hunters) but any other suggestions?
Find a way to spread out your callers. Call call by call area on the callers ticket. Call for stations beginning with “A” then “K”. When you complete US, call for DX. If need to, operate split. Just a few ideas.
@@ND3N yes. I do ask people to spread out but not everyone is polite. I generally lower my power which helps.
Hi, Tom, I loved your videos of the 991A.
I heard you say that you had problems with the computer, that is happening to me when I stop using the MRP40 in CW and I go to LSB or USB when I press the microphone to speak, the computer turns off, that happened to you
The problem ended up being with my computer. Called HP friends tech support and they identified a problem with my Windows 11 upgrade - it had corrupted some of my drivers. A quick fix and everything was fine. Haven't had a problem since. 73 de Tom, ND3N
Apakah bisa bermain di 27mhz(11m)? Mohon pencerahan nya
Yes it can, but it is not type certified by the FCC, and by most other countries that are signatories to the ITU regs, and they can confiscate it if you are caught using it on CB …. I wouldn’t recommend it…
@@ND3N ok thanks (JZ10CDF) from indonesia
Merci bien. F1SKF
You're welcome - 73 de Tom, ND3N
Great Job Tom, for us Newbies ! Ed W4EML
Thanks for watching!
thanks and looking forward to the ssb video, 73 de N4IQV
You're welcome. Now that I have the first one out of the way, I expect that the others will come easier. 73 de Tom, ND3N
