I've been getting into Hollow state technology recently. Bought a couple olde tube Heathkits 100% dumpster ballast. Negative. Their absolute performance is not an issue. I was never exposed to tube technology, ever. These units are simple, and I will use them to learn about the hollow state. As long as they work, I will be well served by them. OK, OK you're excused. This time. Ouch: How do you spell clueless? I loves you dearly Michael, you're a very nice guy and yer heart is in the right place but you have this frustrating penchant for getting over yer head at warp speed when discussions turn to even moderately deep-end techie sorts of topics. You done it again. I've made a career of it Yeah, I've NOTICED! GROAN! bang head on desk repeatedly He's talking about using his modded R4-C as an outboard RX because of it's legendary front end performance, it's blocking dynamic range and it's third order intercept points as they relate to successfully dealing with very difficult band conditions. Which leaves out your Heath treasures and all members of the FT-1000 clan in this particular pursuit. "If the tube stuff is better, then I'd go for it in a minute" eh? Welp there ya go. It was an interesting report to look at. I would have to say that there is more to the game than the 2KHz dynamic range, I agree with that for the most part but I'd like to see your list. as important as that is, especially to CW users. Great rcvrs is great rcvrs modes aside. Where did you get the notion that the guy is excusively a CW op? For all we know he could be a phone-only op. But I do appreciate the info! Look at it as a mythology, hype and general BS buster. You can lay down $2,300 for a new MP Mark 5 or pay maybe $500 for a clean used IC-746 and wind up with essentially the same signal handling capabilities and still have most of the commonly-used bells & whistles. - Mike KB3EIA - w3rv |
