I'm up here 4 days a week, staying in trim area, on the Dublin road to be exact, so not too far away at all. How would you feel about giving a lad a hand tuning my set up?? Only got it yesterday, needs some getting to get it up to speed.

I am on the trim road every day :D I don't really know that much, I just wired mine in and plugged in the aerial before I powered it up (very important) and it worked fine :D

Dunno if its mine or yours lad,but I failed to find you on any band, eu, ec, uk, pl, am or fm.
Ill be down home in cork the weekend lad, not back till next Tuesday. I must do a few checks on mine when I'm home, swr etc, maybe try again next week??

Could you try and find out what band your on?? I think I saw on here that yours is european and Poland only. Could be wrong wrong on that but I knew for definite it would be easier to find each other.

Was lolling forward to this evening, disappointed now :(
