I'll preface my query with the caveat that I'm not a software engineer nor do I program for a living. I know C (a little) and programmed in mostly FORTRAN when I did do a lot of programming. I've nev

I must admit that the LED matrix used on the O2 is very elegant. I know of no other radio that displays the VFO status quite like that. Most of the time, the status is annuciated somewhere in the dis

I'm considering getting RX-366 with a full set of filters. Which are the better roofing filters: the InRad or the TT filters? Also, I couldn't find any mention of the RX366 on the TT site. Did I miss

Yes, I saw that. While it's a comforting thing to see, and it seems like it should make for a better filter, does it make any practical difference in filter performance? Kim N5OP "People that make mu

True. I expect to use the radio for many years to come, though, and so adding the RX-366 remains for me an attractive option. If my concern were ROI, adding the RX366 would be ill advised.  Heck, I s

This is for the additional roofing filters in my RX366. I agree that shielding doesn't hurt but, as you note, it probably doesn't help all that much for this application, either. Kim N5OP It is a fac

Ah! I've noticed this but never understood it. At least with the Globe Champ 350, the power output can increase quite a bit off resonance to the right, but the plate current also quickly gets way out
