Home Brew Pre-Selector Project
Phase 1 of my 2 year HF Pre-Selector project is finally complete. The final step was to install the front panel label. My initial goal was to build a pre-selector that would prevent ADC overload on

I guess the team in Italy have an awful lot on their minds at the moment, raising a ticket is best so the request is recorded.
Agreed, getting a marker in the right spot is very hard. I'd

Thank you for your suggestions, Neil. I'll take these in reverse order.
I'm not technical enough to write custom code or interpret FFT data, and anyway shouldn't need to for something as basic as

If you are 'ok' with a manually-tuned low-cost preselector, it might be worthwhile to have a look
at the BCC (Bavarian Contest Club) preselector (design dated from ca. 1998).

Hi Paul,
This is a test to see if JPG pictures come through in an email on the groups.io site.
Here is a spectrum display of the AM broadcast band at my QTH in Phoenix, AZ.

Sounds like an opportunity for someone to design and make filter boards for other specific uses. I'd like a narrow one for 136kHz for example.

I have requested a few months ago new filters to also cover the main broadcast bands that swl users can make use of.
Also a dedicated am 520-1800 notch filter

I find the markers in the IF window more useful than those in the main window. If you set the averaging in the IF window to 60 or 100, then the numbers are smooth enough to use for sun noise

Hi, Clint
Isn't it a little disappointing that the available filters are designed for the amateur bands only?
I wouldn't have the skills to build on the unpopulated boards.
