Interesting Pete I didnt get two that time. I had
it happen the other day Idont know whether there is congestion (kids doing
holiday projects) but I hit "send/receive" I got all the receive messages but
got an error on send, and the message wasstill in outbox so I sent it
again......and got two copies from the reflector. So I guess te server didnt ack
the receipt the first time although it did receive the messages.
That's more like BOGOHP :-))

Pat there's something up with your e-mail because it keeps sending
the same thing twice? i.e. two e-mails for the price of one.

Well, you might have been happy,
Pete. I discovered that the family cat's whiskers wouldn't work with a bit
of coke and we had to go back to a pair of baked bean cans and
string!

Hi Graham
How young you are my introduction to Tottenham Court Road
(Proops?) , Lisles Street (GW Smiths), Charring Cross and The
Edgeware Road about 1956. Aaaaah those were the days. learnt a lot about
Radio, Life, the Universe and everything there......
hee!
Got my R107 from Lisle Street with money save from my
apprentices pay. Carried it (abt 1 CWT) via bus to Kings Cross
in the days when the conductor would jump off the bus and give you had
to get it on board........ imagine that on a "Bendy Bus" today. See http://www.retinascope.co.uk/lislestreet.html for
the full story.
OK on the stick info yes but I am CW only really can't get
too excited about sterile data although as you know I do partake occasionally.

Well , its possible to use the emergency
vfo , but that results in a very
unstable signal , I remember down the
Tottenham court road , there where tea chests of
crystals , but that was 1970 .. seems a
lot of the traditional firms have closed ,
One of the £5 dds with a
driver would work , but they want to
keep it standard
DS - That's really the 'correct'
situation , that -33 db decode, -3 db
lower than normal was a good
indication that the system is working
, over ranging the a/d is
the only problem . I think dynamic range
is 60 d b after processing , is it 3
db per bit ? 8 bits , 24 db +
3 that's 27 dB ? 500:1 ? ,
but by removing qty
2 mixers and 2 oscillators
, [ may be 3 oscillators 1 , hf-up-conv 2 ,
pll conv osc 3 ref osc ) that is
a lot of noise + jitter removed from
the signal path as well as imd
from 2 mixers , I found a attenuator
helped for mw and I have a
mw-filter , which cleaned up sw
bands ...... nice to have a panoramic
display , 2 mhz this time , the ra17 was 1
mhz and 28 valves + 20 ish > in
the radio
73-G.

OK Graham
Thought it was home brew retro.......... I am in that
mode and think everbody else is! What do you do at the moment inject
a Sig Genny?
Have you checked the net or checked out Vincent -
QuartzLab etc?
Anyway what's that master osc circuit. I build from old
RADCOM (pre 1975 when they published real amateur radio) and PW,QST
etal. I use modern xtals with no known issues. Well trying to get
third overtone for 10m not to chirp is an issue with me at the
moment.
OK yes got a stick on its way didn't want to tear up my
existing upconverter design. But not sure there is much wrong with
the UC approach it works for me. But want to try the direct
approach. Do you get much Cross mod and IM
products?

Ok Pete
Q where to have them made ?
The set , Marconi Ocean span 1950's
valve tx needs the big
rock's as the oscillator pass's
quite a lot of power via them
...hc6u are no good , drive level is very
low - the ones fitted are the wired- gold
flashed ones , so cannot etch into
the band ...
the gang want to keep it
standard
73 -G.
Ps waiting for qty-3 £6
dongles : )

Hi
If you want to spend a small fortune get them cut.
However build a Mixer VXO from El cheapo standard xtals and or old
PMR rocks. Then at your next rally buy a couple of Screw together
10xj or FT243 rocks of any frequency and put the El-cheapo xtals
inside. And Hey Presto you have Retro rocks.
I have a small all valve 472 tx that uses 6.00
-6.472=0.472 vxo-able a couple of kc/s 12ax7-6am6-6cl6= 4wattso/p.
Local QRP rig.
Hope this helps
