Shortwave Radio Stuff.

I was looking over my radio collection yesterday, and it dawned on me
how
lucky I am to have such a nice collection. So, I decided to make a list
of
them, and some of the other gear I use in my listening post. It turns
out
that I have 22 radio receivers that have shortwave bands on them. I have
5
scanners, and about 6 other AM/FM radios. Then I have related gear like
my
Radio Shack DSP, an MFJ Antenna tuner Pre-amp (959B), an MFJ Signal
enhancer
( 752B), My RS Pro 100 Headset, and the different wall clocks. All In
all,
my shack is pretty cool considering I dont have a huge amount of money
tied
up.
I am thinking about adding an MFJ indoor active antenna to my shack
soon.
I
have always wanted to try one out. I am in an apratment, and I improvise
different antennas from time to time. I bought the Kaito indoor loop
when
I
bought my 1103, and it's not too bad, but I'm not crazy about it either.
When you say Radio Shack DSP, are you talking about the DSP audio filter?
I
have one of those. I've been trying to get a schematic for it so I can
change the switches out to pots. Have you thought about doing this too?

I dont think have the same DSP unit your asking about. Mine is the smaller
unit that can be used a mobile unit. Tha Cat # is 21-543. I bought it used
off Ebay a couple of years ago just to play around with. It's nothing to
write home about.
My MFJ-752B filter is much better for using with shortwave radios. It has
more controls, inputs for 2 receivers, and head phone and speaker jacks. The
only modification I made to that was to move the selector switch from the
back to the side so it's easier reach.
