I was wanting to listen to VHF/UHF SSB. All of my present UHF/VHF
radios are FM. I was thinking of rigging up a simple downconverter
using a mini circuit mixer and my HP signal generator as the local
oscilator that I can connect in front of my HF rig. I have an antenna
mounted pre- amp that I think should suffice for my front end. Any
foreseeable problems short of keying my transmitter while it is
connected.
