Looking forward to getting the BC rig online here so I can finally play in that area a bit. But just as the KW-1's circuitry is a limiting factor, so is the receiver on the other end. Winter conditions at least offer more opportunities to open things up without as much noise and interference to deal with, provided the other stations is running an R-390, older Super Pro, SX-28, or other rigs capable of handling the full signal in the first place. The AM filter in the 75A-4 is 6kcs wide, and while it sounds pretty good, it's nothing like an old SP-100, 200, or 400 with the variable IF opened up to 16kcs and the push-pull 8F6s driving a big speaker with 10+ watts. I'd bet the AMers using receivers with average audio outnumber those with Hi-Fi set ups. Carbon mic or outboard compression, it's all fun in my view. ~ Todd, KA1KAQ/4 ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
