David Toepfer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- R-4 questions:
The Drake R-4(a/b/c) seems universally regarded as a file receiver. It seems bets regarded by CW and SSB users, and less so by AM users. At 4.8kHz max IF bandwidth it is usable for AM, but does not seem to lend itself to current practices of AM users. Does anyone have any experience at opening up the R-4(a/b/c) IF to 6/7/8/10/12kHz more in keeping with current practices? Would the R-4B tend to lend itself better to such a modification because of what I believe is it's LC IF filters as opposed to the crystal filters used in the R-4C? ---- 2-B questions: The Drake 2-B seems even less well regarded by AM users. At 3.6kHz max IF bandwidth its use beyond simple communication via AM seems limited. Similarly, does anyone have any experience at opening up the 2-B IF to 4.8/6/7/8/10/12kHz more in keeping with current practices? Similarly, would the 2-B tend to lend itself better to such a modification because of what I believe is it's LC IF filters? ---- R-4/2-B questions: Or, is it perhaps a simple matter of limits imposed or at least evident earlier in the IF chain preclude aspirations of such receiver modifications? dt . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On Behalf of David Toepfer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Submissions: drakelist@www.zerobeat.net Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: http://www.zerobeat.net Brought to you courtesy of TLCHost.net http://www.tlchost.net/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
