7030+ front end
For the last couple of weeks I've been testing out a 7030+. It's a very
nice receiver, all decked out with Collins filters. Until earlier today, I hadn't used it to listen to anything in the 2-3mhz range. But, largely because of an earlier thread relating to intermod and the 7030+'s front end, I decided to put it through its paces. To my surprise, there were noticeable images of big broadcast stations popping up on numerous frequencies. Now mind you, I'm in Brooklyn, NY and the BCB stations around NYC have to strain even the sturdiest front end. So, I wasn't all *that* surprised to find these images. However, it's interesting to note that none of these images are present on the Drake R8B. I don't mean this as a criticism of the 7030+, since it's a great performer with lots of interesting features. I just find this result a little surprising. Fortunately, once I put a Kiwa BCB rejection filter in line, the problem disappeared. Steve |
