I believe in recycling. I had a Harman Kardon stereo integrated amp in storage 25 years old. I took some old plywood removed from my house when we remodeled and built some speaker cabinets large enough to fit a pair of new 6x9 $35 3-way Blaupunk speakers from Frys. Now this is what is very important: I bought the best stereo gold plated line connectors (those with RCA jacks). I connected them to a 2x1/4 inch Y connector for the SDR and ran them 6 feet to the tuner connectors on the amp. No RFI resulted and the sound was good enough to enjoy DVDs from my radio.

For those who care . here is where I am at now. As you may recall . I was receiving signals, just nowhere near where they should have been in frequency. I tore the whole thing apart and rebuilt using a 100MHz Precision Osc and left out the PA and ATU. Everything now receives bang on. I suspect that there were some ground and power issues with badly crimped lugs. Now I have a new issue. TX seems fine (1W) on HF, except when I switch to 6m. On 6m there seems to a squeal with the mic connected? RF feedback on 6m but nowhere else . anyone seen anything similar? While I am asking stupid questions . here are some more general ones: Anyone have a recommended powered speaker setup? From what I read, it seemed powered speakers were the only option. I sorta think most PC amplified speakers are crap. Opinions / recommendations? Same thing for headphones . ie: Heil? Drive direct or? 73 de Kevin, VE3KH -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
