Ben,
I plan to attend a large hamfest (Findlay, Ohio) this Sunday and if I
can locate a good used receiver for the right price, I plan to invest in
your AVT system.
What do I need for this? What features should I look for? Any
recomendations would be appreciated, as I am really ignorant in this field.
Thanks,
Nick Moore
You need upper side band and lower side band. NOT a reciever with a BFO –
don't let anyone talk you into that under ANY circumstances. You also need
a reciever that will tune in 100 Hz increments MINIMUM, preferably 10 Hz –
or if it's an analog tuner (not a digital display) that will be fine.
Ideally, you want a very stable reciever, but that's impossible to tell on
a swap table.
Really good radios:
Kenwood R5000, R2000
Yaesu FRG-7
If you can find any of those, buy them (if you can afford them).
Finally, you will be most interested in frequencies from 29 Mhz to 1.6 Mhz
– so you need a wide-spectrum COMM reciever.
Good luck – SWL listening + Looking is mungo cool. :^)
