Michael wrote about his new PCR1000:
Hiya.... --------------------- Thre are three Yahoo groups devoted to the PCR1000, and one more about PCRtrunk(or something like that). If you add a MW (AM BCB) reject filter it will really improve the reception of ALL bands on the '1000. I use the Kiwa filter, but Stridsberg is also highly rated. I do have a Stridsberg FM (88~108) reject fitler which really cleans up the 30~75MHz range. Here are plans for a DIYS that work pretty well. I had to stack 2 in series. http://www.hard-core-dx.com/nordicdx/antenna/special/highpass.html Kiwa also makes a Low Pass MW reject that will allow the PCR1000 to shine on LF. A good antenna and ground is a must. I would suggest either an acitve antenna like the AmRad or a "Doty" wire antenna that uses a 9:1 transformer to couple the ~500 Ohms of the typical wire antenna to a 50 or 75 Ohm coax. A set of 10, 20, and 30dB external attenuators is also very nice. With attention to detail the PCR1000 becomes a good HF receiver. I keep frequency lists to cover specific events. One for Huricanes, which I am using right now. Plus local VHF/UHF freqs for T-storms\ tornados, snow/ice storms, floods, riots in any of the 4 nearby towns. I even have a set of frequencies that I pray I will never need. About 25 miles south east of me is the BGAD, where they have tons of ancient nerve agent stored and slated for destruction. A major leak there will ruin a lot of peopels lives. Terry |
