Yes, set your big rig to 7030.7 and remove it's antenna. Connect the pigrig to a dummy load. Key it , and adjust C26 to zero beat on your big rig. Connect the pigrig to the antenna and call cq several times while checking the reverse beacon network http://ham.jit.su/fsqrp several of the skimmers should hear you and report your frequency. PigRigs are designed to run off a 12 volt supply, no need to drop it to 10 volts. Good luck and have fun.. ---------------------------------- I love this radio stuff ! 72 WA�ITP www.wa0itp.com www.4sqrp.com www.qrpspots.com

I got the Pig Rig built and now I have to calibrate and align it. I don't have a freq counter or a 10V source. I can figure out how to step the voltage down from my power source, but was wondering if there was any alternative to having a freq counter? | | 73 | Steve | W1SFR | | | | ------------------------------------ | | 4SQRP Website: http://4sqrp.com | OzarkCon is coming April 5-6 in Branson, MO | View Details at http://www.ozarkcon.com/index.phpYahoo!
