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. Jimmie Performance won't be optimal, and you'll get some LO leakage. You may want to consider trapping the LO back toward the antenna, or using a preamp just to block the radiation. Or just lash the dang thing together and see how it works. -- www.wescottdesign.com |
