Topband: RECEIVER TESTING

[lutz at ispwest.com (Alfred Lutz)]

After reading a description of the 'Time Machine' it occurred to me that an
ordinary video recorder (VCR) might be useful for creating repeatable test
signals for 'real world' evaluation of 160M and possibly 80M receivers.  The
dynamic range of present day recorders isn't great enough to be useful for
intermod testing, but the VCR's output could be combined with high level
signals from crystal controlled oscillators to create a realistic composite
test signal.
