Scott (and list) You'll really create a stir if you find a box of NOS Argosy noise blankers in those same recesses! Al, K2ZN Hello: Stashed way back in the deep recesses of the Ten-Tec warehouse, we
a rarity; although it doesn't have all of the WARC bands, it does cover 30m. Arguably, the C/22 has the best commercially built direction conversion receiver ever made. I used to have one, but with
Another $0.02 ...and to Adam's, one more line: Q: What is the function of the DSP stage? 1. Makes the radio sound better 2. Everything George says about it 3. Everything Doug says about it 4. No one
As long as rx-only tests are being performed, a simple resistive divider will permit simultaneous RX. If more isolation is deemed necessary, a Wilkinson divider can be whipped up fairly easily (ARRL
John's got a good point here. can be susceptible to stray RF during the tune cycle, which can be abundant due to the opening/closing of relay contacts and the dance around the Smith Chart. If the und
I have found that here in upstate NY, especially during the winter, a liberal amount of CF on the antenna will keep it slick enough to keep the crows from spending any time on the wire. Having an inv

If I get a couple hours over the weekend, I'll put my 1208 and 1210 into service. At least this time of year, the foliage isn't a problem on 2m. Al, K2ZN

That's also in line with Tom's statement (paraphrased) that most manufacturers design SSB rigs, then toss in CW as an afterthought. I started out with TT gear when I was a kid and got hooked on code.
Max I'd recommend that you spring for the 220 filter. Even though it's 2.4 kHz wide, it has a much better shape factor than the stock filter. Keep in mind that the 9 and 6.3 MHz filters are cascaded,
Fantasy rig idea: Something akin to the Argonaut 515, covering all bands from 160-10. All-analog design, but using current manufacturing technology. It would be small and diet-conscious. Al, K2ZN Per
I would certainly participate in such a thing, regardless of where the list is. However, I'd need a frame of reference; does anyone have a "basket case" PM that he/she would care to part with? Al, K2
The quick, but not necessarily cheap answer is to switch to an LCD monitor. However, not all LCD monitors are created equal; you may have to take a portable SW receiver into the store with you to "sn
Orange would be way cool. It would be almost reminiscent of glow-in-the-dark radios like my CR88. Al, K2ZN Has anyone experimented with different display colors such as white or orange.
