There are a few of us who meet together every Wed. morning at a local restaurant to talk about ham radio and stuff. Some are new hams. One asked this week a question which I think would be an interes
Ok, here goes with an analogy... Ive been up in the Smokey Mountains many times and they have some of these beautiful short tunnels through rocky hillsides for the roads to pass. Lets say you were st
Great analogy Cecil. Thanks Dave, KB9EPL -- Original Message -- Ok, here goes with an analogy... Ive been up in the Smokey Mountains many times and they have some of these beautiful short tunnels t
Yeah... great analogy. I would explain DSP noise filtering with your analogy like this: You got the lady at end end of the tunnel, but she is shrouded in a misty fog, like you get in those same smoke
I think the easy way to think of it is to realize the ideal filter is a rectangular pass band of frequencies, ie the 455 kHz traditional superhet filter was responding to a wider band than that one f
The next meeting would be a great opportunity for someone to bring his copy of the ARRL Handbook, and open it to Chapter 12, which is about receivers. It talks about the superheterodyne principle, th
Well lets see... The first image that came to mind for SAF was a pin hole camera... Have you ever poked a pin hole in a piece of thin cardboard and used it to project an image of the sun on another p
Ok...no more analogies.... Cecil Acuff Gulfport MS K5DL The next meeting would be a great opportunity for someone to bring his copy of the ARRL Handbook, and open it to Chapter 12, which is about rec
Ha! Great. Thanks for playing along! -- JHR -- The first image that came to mind for SAF was a pin hole camera... AGC well thats a bit more difficult. Best I could come up with for that Yea I know...
Cecil... Best description I've read in 60 years of ham radio.... 73, Joe, KX4JR Ive been up in the Smokey Mountains many times and they have some of these beautiful short tunnels through rocky hillsi
Cecil: your explanations are great, the ONLY problem is There ain't an 'e' in Smoky Mountains! Worked there as a Park Ranger for several years... HI Clayton N4EV ________________________________ From
One of the best things we can do with a new ham, or with any ham who wants to learn, is point them to the Handbook. ______________________________________________ Right. I was criticized for making
Great Job on the Explanation Cecil. Do you think there will ever be a button to push that will place you between the 2 beautiful ladies. Who of course think you are the most handsome man in the world
Very informative explanations Cecil. Just wanted to add that the acronym "RIT" is mostly self explanatory. It means (R)eceiver (I)ncremental (T)uning and it does exactly as you explain it. It tunes t
I very rarely write a response, but Cecil, what a great explanation of how this technology works. I love analogies and your's was RIGHT ON...... Mike W0BBC Ive been up in the Smokey Mountains many ti
Thanks Mike...just a bit of humor in a technical world... Cecil Sent from my iPad _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com
You are so right.... My favorite place in the whole world is to sit on a huge boulder in the middle of the river at the Chimneys picnic grounds....listening to the water crashing over the rocks. I've
I will take a stab at explaining IF Shift. Then contrast it to passband tuning. For my analogy, I will compare the IF filter to a pair of sliding glass doors, like you might find between a living roo
Cecil, I just had to do that! Hi. Yes, I enjoy all those places too. My most favorite place is the Catalooche Valley just off I 40 in NC. Really enjoined your explanation of filtering. Would hav
