Re: DCF 77 77.5KHZ

Hi VK3MHz, Perhaps the thread below on my adventures with a 160 m long Beverage antenna could be of help. https://www.sdrplay.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4493 What is notable in this thread is that I proved that to obtain remarkable low noise operation you must forget about stake ground as the...

Re: BUILDING SELECTIVITY PROTECTION INTO THE RSP FRONT END IN LF/HF

It has come to my mind that with my previous post I have perhaps given the impression that the pre-selectors introduced by mike0agner are not technically effective and therfore not useful. If this is the case I sincerely apologize . On the contrary, my only criticism was the lack of published specs,...

Re: BUILDING SELECTIVITY PROTECTION INTO THE RSP FRONT END IN LF/HF

Thank you for directing our attention to these two commercially available pre-selectors. Both of them, in the frequency ranges they cover, will protect the RSP front end by reducing the bandwidth seen by the front and therefore the chance of overload and spurious. My only regret is that these units,...

Re: A FOOLPROOF ANTENNA SWITCH

Now that luckily a lot of confusing information on this thread has been removed, as a service to those who did not follow the cancelled discussion and may be worried by the bits of controversy left over, but still need to build and use the Antenna Swich in question, I can confirm that this switch wi...

Re: Best antenna no good signals?

Hi Phil, Lovely and amusing idea. I wish to add my bit. In reality it is not "Perfect is the enemy og good". The old Italian proverb says: " il meglio è nemico del bene " which translated, means: "Better is the enemy of good" In this case, forgive the pun, "better" is better than "perfect".... But v...

Re: AM Broadcast Stations on 22 MHz

Hi VK3MHZ, Yes, use a high pass filter, as shown here: HIGH PASS FILTER FOR OPTIMUM HF RECEPTION https://www.sdrplay.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3973 If you go to the last posts of thread above, you will see how the filter eliminates all spurious & images. Please understand there are limitatio...

Re: A FOOLPROOF ANTENNA SWITCH

Hi Mike, No hard feelings at all, in fact I am very glad we can seriously discuss this antenna switch. First of all we must clear possible misunderstandings. 1) This antenna switch is NOT an antenna commutator in the usual sense. THERE IS NO CONNECTION AT ALL TO A TRANSMITTER OUTPUT. What the relay ...

Re: Receive Antenna & Impedance "Matching"

Hi Phil, Even if I have not been commenting, I have been following your WSPR activity, as described in this thread, an activity which I think is more than interesting, it is fascinating. I am afraid to get involved, as I am afraid it will capture my attention completely, However, if my input can be ...
