I put BPF boards in both receivers but if I had only one it would go in the sub RX. 1) I am more likely to use the out of band Rx for listening to the "AM Band" and using the Sub RX with a separate antenna eliminates the losses associated with the pin diode T/R switch. 2) I am likely to want to use the main RX for normal ham operations while listening to something else (WWV, route weather, SW BC, etc.) and having the second RX available for the SWLing even when using the transceiver normally "just makes sense".
On the other hand, if I had a need to *transmit* outside the ham bands I would have no choice other than to put the BPF in the main RX. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 3/11/2013 3:15 PM, Edward R Cole wrote:
Harlan, I chose the main receiver since I assumed most casual listening outside the ham bands would not involve both Rx. Also, I use the main receiver on the 500-KHz band for operating with an experimental license. The general coverage board is required to operate out of a ham band in TEST mode. That is how I transmit on the 600 meter band; taking 1mw level RF to drive a modified surplus NDB transmitter (the K3 replaces the original xtal osc.). But I guess it would reduce to a personal decision for deciding which receiver to install it in. 73, Ed - KL7UW From: Harlan <hsherr...@reagan.com> To: Elecraft Email <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Subject: [Elecraft] General coverage bandpass module Message-ID: <ryi94mxyxvb12xk8ndr13xd9.1362970670...@email.android.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 For those with the sub receiver and only one bandpass module... Which receiver is it assigned to and why did you pick that receiver?
