High power attenuators are expensive and I don't like to be generating 100W on the IF frequency.I've never done this myself but I've heard of people using a run of high LOSS feedline between the two to act as an attenuater.The attenuation needed would make for a very quiet receiver operation. The latter isn't a problem since I have separate receive and transmit connections between HF rig and transverter. However, 40 dB attenuation at 28 MHz is 930 feet of RG-174. That is a tad more expensive than the high power attenuator I am trying to avoid. :-) Paul _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/vhfcontesting |
