hi Eric:

...what are you, totally thick or what? The MW station that was
causing the problems.

at what *frequency* is that MW station transmitting?

670 kHz. KLTT. "The nations most powerful Christian voice." For
someone who keeps track of all the flaws in my past statements, you
should remember that one.

Of course. The R75 solves all. Can't imagine that if you use your LW
loop with another radio, that it'll outperform that R75, can you?
Come on, this is really simple. Take whatever crutches you add to
your R75, apply them to nearly ANY other radio on the market, and
it'll leave your R75 in the dust. (Notably, your dream radio, the
Racal 6790, would be left in the dust as well. What's your affinity
to radios with crappy front-ends?)

the R75 was used to drive home a point: ANY tabletop using the LW loop i
suggested will outperform your antenna.

We'll see. I have no argument with using an LW loop, only with using
the R75.

only you cannot admit you were
wrong. thinking is a crutch! rip on the 7030 and Racal all you want genius.

Thank you, I think I will.

who could not figure out that a simple $50 homebrew LW BPF in front of
either will smoke your $4000 RX340 in terms of IP3, dynamic range, phase
noise, ultimate rejection, etc. explain how your radio will leave any
tabletop "in the dust" when both are hooked to a LW loop? quote specs.

Tell me, phil, what's the hyping on the price of the '340? The
half-octave BPFs in the front end were only one reason I got it. Most
of the reasons I bought it were based on operating it and getting a
feel for how capable it was. Specs? You can look them up yourself.
I'm not a walking calculator. We can argue about 1, 3, 10 or 20 dB of
dynamic range for close-in spacing, but that isn't the issue. You
know that.


regards,
phil
