For monoband use, use an asynchronous transformer to go to 50 Ohms if you or the equipment is that fussy. http://www.k1ttt.net/technote/matching.html Carl KM1H -- Original Message -- From: <donovanf@

The couple of K3's Ive listened to sound horrible on SSB compared to my tweaked vintage TS-940 and TS-950SD. The TS-990 I had here for a contest weekend (the owner had to be away on business) was phe

I found the TS-990 main receiver to be the best Ive ever used and the 2nd one close but not quite but Ive no experience with a TS-950. Another thing I noticed was the near absence of phase noise and

If I want great sounding SSB I fire up the CE-100V with the factory 160M option, NCL-2000 modified to include 160, and highly modified 75A4; along with a D-104. Ive had all since the 60's. Carl KM1H

I had a pair of C Lines from about 77-86 when they were replaced by a pair of TS-930's. Prior to that it was the highly modified 75A4 I still have and often use as the second RX on 160. In stock shap
