Cool stuff. Way cool.
Just trying to sort out the bandswitching from the pictures:
Antenna input is switched to one of six bandpass+optional RF amp
boards. It looks like the antenna switching is by the black relays in
the back?
Eight bands, six band boards, a couple of the bands must be close
enough together that they utilize a common board? Or maybe the IF *is*
one of the bands...
There appears to be a preselector knob on the front, how does this go
into the bandpass/RF amp boards.
The output from the RF band boards is then brought to some sort of
combiner board that I cannot make out anything but a bunch of SMA jacks
on. Is there switching there too, or (because of power switching to
the RF boards) is this just a simple combiner?
And that Eddystone dial is to die for. Oh, man.
Tim.
