It would work quite well as a receive antenna. And yes, magnetic loops are well known to have quite narrow bandwidth, which would allow nulling interference along one axis. N6RK uses a magnetic RX lo
Seems like all those hams with their RVs need an education about RFI from their own stuff! NO ham should be using any switch-mode power supplies that are external to equipment. It's relatively easy t
Members of this reflector will almost certainly appreciate this post to the Amps reflector from Dishtronix, the company that bought RKR. The third paragraph is particularly interesting. The complaint
Some of you guys seem to miss the reason I posted the email. It's NOT that someone was unrealistic in their expectations (although that is certainly true), but rather the history lesson of the downfa
Wade, The problem is that the person who answers the phone must 1) be able to do more than make it stop ringing and 2) be paid. This is clearly a stripped down operation. The Owner says he's trying t
Wayne and Eric have a strong resemblance to Al Kahn (K4FW) and Jack Burchfield (K4UJ), the two guys who made Ten Tec what it WAS. I strongly suspect that, while neither is getting rich, Elecraft is p
HI Mike, Thanks for joining the reflector. You're in good company -- Wayne Burdick and Eric Swartz, principals of Elecraft, read their reflector every day, and the contact they get from customers has
It's easy to see why, having owned the K3/P3 for a long time, one of the radios whose features this one tries (and fails badly) to emulate. It's billed as an SDR with knobs plus a touch screen spectr
Clarifying -- it is a FACT that the ICOM 7600 produces nasty key clicks -- that was documented by ARRL Lab tests. Only Yaesu rigs were dirtier. There's a carefully tabulated summary of those results
Barry, I don't disagree that all mfrs are looking at direct sampling RX, and I agree that they should be. I'd call that wise investment in R&D. My assessment of the 7300 is that it's a budget level p
I haven't seen a Flex up close and personal, but I certainly agree about ergonomics with ANAN. I bought a 10E to use as a spectrum analyzer, and it's very good at that. But I found the ergonomics som

It costs that much because of the bells and whistles thrown in, like the frequency display with touch features. And, of course, it isn't 1970. :) 73, Jim K9YC
Mine was a Hallicrafters S-38D and a BC459 (40M Command set transmitter). First upgrade was a second Command set, this one an ARC-5, that my dad bought on "radio row" in lower Manhattan (demolished t
What was even luckier was that a local TV announcer had a Tech license and had been studying for years for his General, had bought an SX-101 but couldn't pass the code test. So after years of trying,
It's not being old-fashioned, it's being SMART. Switchers are well known to produce lots of RF trash. You may not realize it because there's so much other trash in your neighborhood from OTHER switch
