Question: RP2100 plus SSB module

It this arrangement stable enough for decent SSB operation and is the tuning ratio low enough without backlash? Any comments on this would be appreciated. The reviews on the RP2100 by itself seem to be pretty good considering the price. Thanks, Frank Tucson, AZ I'm trying to figure out the attraction of a shortwave radio that you have to buy a separate battery powered outboard module in order to decode ssb. There are receivers available for comparable prices that have ssb included. I have the 2100 with the module. For 56 bucks without it I wasn't gonna complain... it's a good asskicker on MW, has better sensitivity on the whip than anything else I've had, has really nice audio for program listening and is plain good looking. I have the module-had to try it-it works fine but I haven't used it for extended listening yet. It tunes like any other unit with a generic BFO control. I'm sure it works, as many cobbled together projects do. Since there is a Degen DE1103 and many other radios available for about the same price that doesn't require the use of 8 batteries plus an outboard module to decode SSB I guess I don't see the point of the 2100 for ssb work. It seems like a pieced together arrangement. Rich |
