Terry Yea, ok, Terry. Art first when I punched it in I expected it to be WBCQ, but I listen for a while and didn't hear ID. It was still daylight here so wasn't sure. And pirate was using Ontario po box which is right across the lake from me. It was confusing - as to why he would be on 7415 unless he was jamming. Then of course I know weiner will sell airtime to anybody. Undercover Radio has been rebroadcast on WBCQ several times. I don't know what they charge, but I guess the price is right. Linear Technology has a Eliptic filter with a built in oscillator and divider that can get down to 2 kHz. The filter has a 10 pole response and Fc can be controlled with a pot. Sweet part and I'm wondering how it would work with the precision detector. Project is in my sights. I'm working at Harris RFC in Rochester and engineer I work with pointed me to the LM386 amplifier so I picked up a few. I used them years ago on other projects. He told me that's what Harris used in the RF590, and he swears it's the best audio going with very low distortion. I'd like to hear your take on that. Start with http://www.amwindow.org/tech/htm/alowdisdet.htm and then add to it as time allows. It gives maybe 90% of the performance of a sync detectot 90% of the time. The spec sheet http://cache.national.com/ds/LM/LM386.pdf shows good chartoristics. But under very marginal conditions, a signal right at the lower limit of Intelligibility, I found nothing beat a Class A amp. But how many of us spend enough time listening to such marginal signals that the difference is worth the effort? For 99.999+% of SWL the LM386 would be great. A little underpowered at 125mW, but acceptable under most conditions. Harris is awsome place to work. I got an antenna farm that has no rival. A patch panel on the second floor gets any antenna on the roof down into the shack in the basement. Even got a big log that goes down to 40m band. Test gear is unmatched as well. And it's US tax dollars thats funding it all. SWEET! Regards, Bob N9NEO You are very lucky. With that type equipment I wouldn;t get any real work done, I wuold have oddles of fun, until my lack of productivity caught up with me. Terry |

Regards, Bob N9NEO For a simplified overview of what I was trying to do see: http://www.gold-line.com/pdf/articles/p_sti01e14.pdf My testing had several flaws. My data set wasn't 100% random, there was a very slight bias in the random play mode that varied by up to 5%. My tests used word pairs with no context clues. English is a language with a lot of redundency. you can follow most non technical conversations even if you can only understand ~50%. But the biggest weakness was my inability to simulate mulitpath selective fading. I was only dealling with pure signal to noise not signal +distorted signal + noise. I learned a lot from my remote HiFer test "beacon" and I am glad I wpent all the time and effort. I only wish I had a few million to build several KW transmitters at different distances to study selective fading. Terry |
