The IF is not tunable. It's fixed at 9MHz. It's the VFO that covers 5.0
to 5.5MHz.


How could someone with an RAE, who claims so much experience of homebrew,
and
the hobby in general make such an error?

Especially as, if say STC, happens to ask a question the same person
derides him without mercy.

Plus, of course, this is far from an isolated incident. If ever there was
evidence needed for retesting Full licence
holders, this is it. The danger is, OFCOM may think, based on this
individual, that testing must include all three exams, even for existing
Fulls.

Don't put ideas into their heads, Brian. That's far to much of a "nice
little earner" not to be implemented.
