>From the G4GXL post about the Spring issue of the QRP Quarterly (posted to several lists)--
>...There's 15 pages of Idea Exchange and it's all good stuff.... As author of the column, my response is, well, yes and no :-) There's an item about a BCI filter for the Pixie transceiver. I did some computer analysis on the author's design and suggested some improvements. But after I had submitted the column to the publisher I had a "Doh!" moment. I realized something about the original design that I probably should have recognized a lot earlier. (But whether it really makes a lot of difference is probably open to debate.) In any event, there's probably going to be someone who reads my commentary on the filter and mumble that I don't know what I'm talking about, and/or that there's a lot more to it than I realize. And of course they would be right. I am not an engineer and also don't design, prototype and test filters at work, so of course there are gaps in my understanding of things. If anyone is an RF engineer and/or designs filters a lot at work, I'd love to discuss this particular issue with you! (And yes, there will be an update in the next issue of the column.) 73 DE WA8MCQ ______________________________________________________________ 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
