Re: [Flexradio] Fwd: [Elecraft] Sherwood Engineering and DSP

I talked to Rob at some length about this, although I couldn't give him a definite answer concerning the SDR-1000, except that I didn't seem to notice the problem. He was some what intimidated by all the wires he had to connect and that he had to buy them at RS. I know I got them all with my

I agree, the SDR-5000 looks very, very good, top and bottom. Much better I think than the SDR-1000. I was impressed with the plethora of connectors, plugs, etc on the back. W8XO ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz

Re: [Flexradio] BCI filter

As I said last night, it made a big difference here. The noise floor dropped over 20db and the birdies every 10kc are gone. That is with one of my verticals with no other tuning in line. The dipole does not have that problem. On the vertical, with no tuning, WLW actually registers on my SWR

Re: [Flexradio] SSB with Carrier?

Years ago I ran a plate modulated rig which had 5 watts of carrier and about 300 watts of audio (W6QYT system) , it was very effective. As for inverted audio, one of our bunch experimented with that too, it was supposed to make tuning a DSB signal easer if you didn't have a selective receiver.
