This site just got bookmarked.
That one URL just made this thread worth the bother for me.


You could just go to the MFJ web site. There you will find the converter,
a download link for the manual and a place to send them a message asking
them any question you want. You can also call them.

Geoff.

I have seen converters like that and the absolute best feed into a CB
radio for a 27MHz first I.F. stage. The CB has all the sharp bandwidth,
noise blanking and other things to make a good setup. Problem is I can't
remember if they were a home build project or not. Since CB is dormant
except among truckers it may be a bit of a specialty trick to find stuff.
Thanks,
