HI Doug and qrp'ers
This note is to let Doug, Ori, and the entire Norcal Group know that their
effort on new crystals was not in vain!! Soldered the sucker in and
instantly... 30m signals. Everything works! Thanks GUYS!!
One mod which hasn't been mentioned to my knowledge regards the offset
adjustment. I found my offset to be about 360 cycles, not too great, so
I replaced c21 with a small npo trimmer (9-35) and adjusted offset to
650 hz, exactly matching the sidetone generated in the tick. This makes
zero beating so much easier (just match your sidetone). A good improvement,
and now I follow the output with one of Emtech's audio filters (switchable
in and out), and What a great receiver!
Finally, after the third crystal, I get to be impressed....
