On the topic of comparing radios... I've found that one must be careful on how the comparison is done. You'll get a far better reading if you can hold everything constant except for the rig under test.
I'll feed a single antenna to both rigs through an antenna switch (maybe) and then send the audio output from each rig to my mixing board which in turn feeds my headphones. I can exactly balance the audio level from each rig using the mixer and I'm listening through the same headphones. With such a setup, switching from one rig to another is as simple as turning two pots on the mixer (or maybe hitting a mute button). True differences (and similarities) between rigs become immediately apparent in a way that just doesn't happen otherwise. And be sure to do both short term and long term listening. Quickly switching from one to another can show you things. So, too can switching after listening to one for a while. - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
