I am looking to make or by a pre-selector for my S38 receiver.

Anyone have one or any ideas?

Try on old RME DB-20 or equiv. preselector. Variable gain and pretty
good image rejection. Plus your local osc won't be detectable by
hostile submarines. There's one on Ebay currently. Not mine. I still
use mine with s SP-600.

I just use an old-fashioned antenna tuner made with a variable
capacitor to "electrically" tune the random wire. Works just as good,
my S-38C is fully restored and very hot on the BCB and even up to the
11 meter band!
