But if we tune outside the range of the roofing filter it is said that we will miss some of the lower order close in IM products. :>) I have some receivers with no roofing filters and they do fine a

The wrong things shouldn't be exaggerated then. We should focus on what really happens. The S meter doesn't measure "peak power". A more correct statement would be it measures the "average power of

That is possible depending on the frequencies and tone spacing, That depends entirely on the receiver gain distribution and AGC performance. Many receivers use AGC to turn down front end gain to pre

That's what I'm doing. Not any meter I've seen. They almost always work from the AGC. The AGC is generally a peak detection system with rapid attack and slow decay, with the exception that a good we

How the S meter works has little to do with the measurements being discussed but it is interesting. I agree that most meters are driven from quasi peak detectors from the agc but do not directly res

You took that wrong. My point is we should learn what it does and call it what it actually is. I didn't say from a receiver with good IM response but a lot of unusual things can happen. Receivers ca

Sounds like the Flex Radio SDR-1000 would be ideally suited for this task. It has very a simple conversion scheme, high dynamic-range, and no analog AGC (either derived or applied). With a 44 KHz sam

Isn't that an FM radio? If so no good for a spectrum analyzer front end. By the way the HP141 has no less than 4 conversions. 73 Gary K4FMX _______________________________________________ Amps maili

No, Gary, it's an HF receiver/transceiver that uses a PC soundcard to handle IF filtering and demodulation: http://www.flex-radio.com/ http://www.flex-radio.com/articles_files/SDR-1000%20April%202005

Am I the only one on earth that has been looking at the SDR-14 ?? It is now 1100 up from 1000. Pretty cheap for a FFT analyzer that will change the way you think about the radio spectrum. There is no

Now we are back to my first suggestion. Use a good mixer and local oscillator to feed a sound card. If you don't need more than 20kHz bandwidth you don't need the quadrature oscillator and mixers whi

Hi Bill, I assume that you are talking about using a quadrature mixer to get rid of one side band? Seems like it should work. 73 Gary K4FMX _______________________________________________ Amps maili
