Hi all,
Re switchers:
I bought the SAMLEX 1223 as reviewed in QST. I've been impressed.
Here in ZL I operate portable at Christmas at a beach location well away from
cities. The noise floor is so low, compared to my home QTH in Auckland,
that I've sometimes initially checked the antenna to see that I connected
it.
The Samlex generated no noise I could hear on any HF band. It DID generate
some low-level stuff in the broadcast (below 1 MHz) band, but I cannot hear
this at the home QTH.
I think switchers have come a long way since the early models.
