Topband: DX Engineering Preselector

[Peter Voelpel]

We used the DXE 8-circle without preamp and preselector last year at DR1D in
M/S WWDX CW.
In my opinion neither is necessary even with 200m of RG-6 feedline.
I looks as that the RF limiter is causing your problem, is that using anti
parallel diodes or just a light bulb + spark gap?
With diodes you might try to add more diodes in series.

I just put in the above as it is the best one out there... However, when I
put in the Array Solutions RF Limiter/Arrestor between the preselector and
the K3 I get distortion in the signals. Any comments out there?

The RX antenna is a Hi-Z 8-Circle array.
