"Gerry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I use a home brew version of the same thing which was posted on a web site by PA0TRT. Essentially it is a copy of the RF preamp in the R-7 receiver. I used the STRORE switch instead of drilling a hole in the front panel. It does improve sensitivity on all bands but is really intended for the higher bands such as 10 meters. You don't need all the extra gain on the lower bands anyway and it may under certain circumstances degrade strong signal handling performance. DF4NW's board seems inordinately large for what it contains. The last time I checked, the PA0TRT web site had a lot of interesting info on the TR-7.
