32 years ago I acquired a Kenwood R-5000 Communications Receiver (LF-MF-HF) that had been used as a SWL RX and traded in by the original owner. It must be nearly 40 years old and it finally died - synthesizer and display quit and I have neither the facilities nor the dexterity or visual acuity to make any repairs in it. (Sometimes we reach that point...)
Now I need to replace it. My K2 has a great receiver but limited to ham bands - I do quite a bit of monitoring on HF outside of the ham bands (SSB, RTTY, SITOR). I've used a Ten-Tec RX320D SDR but it was made for SWL use and doesn't have the necessary sensitivity to do the job and TT abandoned it years ago. Anyone have a suggestion for replacement? Something like the receive section of a K3s would be nice... :) ---- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
