Hi Gang, I'm thinking of buying a short wave receiver like a Grundig or something, and have been looking at them on the web. What I have in mind is a very small, pocket sized rig, 2 AA cells for power... Now, I have found a couple of models, but they don't have a BFO for CW, and don't do SSB

Hello elecrafters, i am looking for a device to reduce/eliminate the noise of a 2m ssb-receiver. What the circuit should do: Reduce (or eliminate) the noise of the rx when no signal is present, like a squelch, but much faster. It should be an analog device, not a dsp-device. It should be

I believe the reel antenna is active with a preamp powered from SW-100 depending on which switch position the freq range is set for. It is a pretty impressive radio for the size. FM stereo at the headphone jack, fixed level audio output jack for recording. Slow tuning rate for SSB/CW. And
