Gents, I've been reading this list for a couple of weeks. Yesterday a Paragon was sold here. I didn't know anything about them so I went to the ARRL members-only QST Equipment Tests to look for a rev
Hi Max: I could give you a long discourse, but first, before you get numbers fever pick up the latest, or next to latest, ARRL Handbook. There is a section on reciever specs that bears close scrutiny
Pete, take a look at the Sept/Oct. issue of QEX for an article on receiver performance on DX - I think you might be surprised at the overall receiver rankings . . . the heart of the comparisons is th
Pete: I hope that is your opinion about the OmniVI. I think the majority of the ham community might disagree with you. --Original Message-- From: tentec-admin@contesting.com [mailto:tentec-admin@cont

Max, First of all let me say -I'm not an expert- not even close but I've been reading this list for about 2 years and have picked up a little. There is another receiver performance figure called phas
Sorry to seem so mysterious, guys, about the QEX article . . . Elecraft has placed it on their web site at http://www.elecraft.com I use my K2 as another front end for my Icom PRO by taking an IF sig
Hi: It should be clearly understood that everyone's bird dog is the best. Even the dog that won't hunt. And any statement that seems to imply that anyone else's bird dog is "better" is a slap in the
Grrr... Does that mean that my opinion isn't worth anything to you? After all, you only asked for "gents" and I don't qualify. Before I get on to the technical issues I want to say that this is a pet

Caity, Speaking for myself, I love female hams !! We need more. ((by the way...you single ? will you marry me??)) Just kidding of course. :) 73 de Gary -- Original Message -- From: "Caitlyn Martin" <
Hello, folks: To reiterate a point I made in an earlier posting, not only are receive figures important, but so are transmit figures. Many recent rigs have unacceptable two-tone 3d order IMD numbers

Hi George I'm wondering... Could the same thing be done using a K2 for the front end of a Jup/Peg? Would that make a significant improvement? 73 & tnx Bob KB1CIW Scout T-4 [snip] QEX?
I used an Omni VI+ as the front end of a Pegasus so I am sure you can do the same with the K2. Tom, W7QF --Original Message-- From: tentec-admin@contesting.com [mailto:tentec-admin@contesting.com]On
Bob, I know you addressed this question to George but I hope you don't mind if I respond also. I run a rig here I call the "SuperJupe". I thought of calling it Parater or Jupiton but I liked SuperJup
I would expect so, Bob - try it and see. I take an IF signal from the output of the Post-Mixer amplifier where it feeds the noise blanker. Use a 22 pf cap to RG-174 to a BNC in one of the transverter
Ooooops! In my earlier post I wrote "The result is a receiver with five stages of good crystal selectivity prior to the signal arriving at the DSP...". Guess I was in too much of a hurry. What I mean
Almost any receiver can "front end" another. Points of concern are overloading the second receiver input and impacting the performance of the first receiver by tapping off the signal either at the wr
I think is one of the reasons Elecraft is so well regarded. Along with very good no nonsense RX/TX designs they are catering to the experimenter (ham radio roots) in a way that most manufacturers no
