I am working on the Receiver chapter for the LF book. I have a good
introduction written by John 4GVC (with a description of the TS850,
which caused many of us, including myself, to go this route) but
would like to bring it up to date in the light of your collective
experience. While I was up at Crawley I found that Derek was using
the 990 to good effect.
What is your favorite receiver and how does it compare with others
that you might have tried?

Racal 1792.
- 1 Hz tuning step
- high stability frequency reference, and all the synthesizers derived from the
same 1 MHz signal
- synthesized BFO
- good AGC, excludible
- good dynamic (abt 102 dB 3rd order IMD at 14 MHz, never measured at 137 kHz)
- ample choice of filters
- IF pass band tuning
- no bells-and-whistles
- easy to repair and/or modify
[I'm not working for Racal, of course ...]
