Hi Scott,
SC> Which reminds me, at one time Lafayette sold a tunable VHF high band
SC> receiver - it tuned with a dial! Talk about having a hard time
SC> finding stations! All it was really good for was the weather channels
SC> because you could tell when you were drifting off and swing it back on
SC> channel. If you drifted off a channel that only had sporadic traffic
SC> you were out of luck.
SC> I added a crystal filter to the IF of mine. Otherwise the IF was
SC> nearly as wide as a broadcast FM band radio. You could hear as many
SC> as 5 or more channels at once!
Sounds like a fun radio! Sure must have made life interesting!.
