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.
