Spiney Norman,
I was 28DME ish from POL direct on track 310, the time was about 19:20 local.

I'm no avionics engineer but I have known light aircraft radios to have markedly different reception characteristics between a 50kc spacing
Next time I'm up there, I'll try to use frequencies with 25KHz and 50KHz space, and see if it makes any difference.

Pole Hill. I suspect you thought I was being short with you,.....If you're ever in doubt never be afraid to ask us to 'say again'.
Well, to be honest, I thought you were a bit; but now I know you weren't being now! I'll definately ask to SAY AGAIN if required. Thank you.

Squadgy,
Interesting. The transceiver that I was using is digital, and I'm sure it's Narco. The backup is analogue, so I may try using that next time.

Thanks,
POL
