Re: Re: LF: QAP 500...how to get rid of attenuator on rigs...

Hello Mike,

Thanks for the info - the trick works on the TS-690 too, but the RIT range is 
only +/- 1.1 kHz. So my "sensitive" RX range ends at 501.1 kHz.  Mal was some 
900 Hertz higher .

I'll build a selective preamplifier for this band soon, to give the deaf RX 
what it needs ;-)

73,
  Wolf DL4YHF .

Wolf, Try setting the rig to 499.99kc and use the RIT to go up into the 501kc 
band. No more attenuator!!! That&#146;s what we do on 505-510kc here in the US.

Hi Mal,

Armchair copy here in northwestern DL at the moment. The old TS-690 switches on 
an attenuator above 500 kHz (like the TS-850),   so no meaningful S-meter 
reading is possible.
I am calling on 136.8 kHz to give you a "crossband-report". 
Dave YXM not heard with my poor RX-setup yet.

Cheers, 
 Wolf DL4YHF (DK4U at the moment).
