The Softrock Lite II can be ordered with a crystal specific to your IF. Makes an even cheaper PAN adapter when added to your sound card. The receiver is $21.00 plus the cost of the xtal which runs

And the audiophiles discovered the 813 and how well they worked in their HB audio amps and woosh... the prices skyrocketed. Eric W9WLW -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my b

I like the NR in the Omni VII much better than the one in the Eagle. The audio characteristics in the Eagle change dramatically in SSB and AM modes. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Plea

I say we (Ham's in general) will keep up this need for accuracy to the point of lodging complaints to the ARRL and then the FCC, and we will eventually be channelized like most other HF services. Ev

I was talking to a fellow Ham on 80/75 meters the other night and I noticed his audio just didn't seem right. He was running a TS-950s, and a Henry amp and talking into a D104. I turned my Softrock

I'm told that I sound acceptable for a non-boatachor using the Omni VII. I believe the audio is adjustable on the O7 using the AM mode, but I haven't tried real hard to improve my audio any. Since

Bry, Your reference to the ergonomics of the Omni VII front panel - what is your concern? Just a curiosity question on my part. It did take me a few hours to get use to it, but I see where even on th

Bry: You won't find a simpler rig to use that rates high on Rob's list for receiver performance, and that is the Eagle. It's so simple, that when I got mine I actually went through "Knob Withdrawal"

A slightly larger Eagle II with the added functions you would find in the Omni VII, in a price range of $2500-2700 would be a show stopper. That means it would need room for a 2nd RX-366 that is opti

During my last jaunt on HF (before selling station to focus on my kids), I ran my Paragon this way, but with a homemade charger I came up with at the time. I wish I hadn't gotten rid of the charger.

The discussion has included the use of a "Ten-Tec" model 238 tuner so it seems quite appropriate. The inclusion of the antenna and chokes/baluns is both beneficial and value add. Oh, and Ten-Tec sell
