my software could be used to run the rx320 along with it for dual receive
for DX pileups. This would be a dynamite setup. You can find used rx320's
for as little as $200.
Carl, although I prefer control to be via
the main rig than via a computer, your suggestion
is excellent. Surprisingly the RX-320 actually has
MUCH better RX specs than Orion's Sub-Receiver:
(14 MHz, 500 Hz filter, 5 kHz spacing):
Radio IMD BDR Source
Orion-Sub 59 dB 73 dB Jan 2004 QST
RX-320 82 109 Mar 1999 QST
Seeing this really makes me wonder why Orion's Sub-RX
is as bad as it is? The RX-320 list price was $295
and it's hard to fathom it being so much better than
Orion's Sub-RX.
