Kevin,
That strange clicking noise you hear is the sound of previously
skeptical IRCA DXers urgently ordering a pair of SRF-59's from Amazon...
before the
supply runs out.
I am absolutely thrilled that a fellow Puget Sound SRF-59 Fanatic has
made a discovery that could truly revolutionize not only the phasing of locals
(at a rock-bottom price), but also the reduction or elimination of the IBOC
disease. What I have done to promote the SRF-59 (and other Ultralight
radios) is very small indeed compared to your phenomenal accomplishments. But
I
suppose that when you put both of us together (with other fanatics like Bruce
B., Dennis, Gil, Pete, Joe and many others) we may yet turn IRCA into a
supercharged group of pocket radio fanatics!
Thanks for the information about the Radio Shack #12-467. Of course, I
didn't seriously expect it to compete with the SRF-59, but as a reviewer
it's important to keep an open mind (and an open wallet). Barring an
unforeseen
huge difference from my ordered unit and yours, it will probably be relegated
to the turkey farm to join the ICF-S10Mk2.
I can see an urgent need for an SRF-59 alignment procedure to equalize
performance among all units,since recently Bruce. B also reported a possible
issue with SRF-59 alignment. I do remember an IF transformer close to the
loopstick which could be peaked, so as much as I am not thrilled with playing
with that plastic dial gear alignment again, I think it's again time for the
ex-Navy sonar repair tech to show these tiny units who is boss.
Thanks again for your fantastic technical experimentation, which is a
true inspiration to all Ultralight fanatics!
73, Gary
