[TenTec] Scads of used Icom IC-7300

[Al Gulseth]

Rick,

Just curious - did you ever use any of the old analog TT rigs which had 
a "Resonate" control (i.e. Triton, early Omni, etc.) there in DL land, and if 
so, how did they hold up against the SW BC QRM? I'm wondering if the RF 
amp/preselector subsystem from an old TT parts rig could be repurposed as an 
RX preselector. (The "motive to my madness" is that the TT system appears to 
be a variant of the 40M preselector schematic in the article you linked.)

73, Al
