SW Ohio Loggings

A few more loggings from Sunday night/Monday Morning with the SRF-59. After several hours of intensive listening, I am disappointed that I am just pulling in the 50 kilowatters and not the small fry

Re: Radiolab filter mod for M37V ULR

Aha! Thanks for the clarification. I missed the +/- part of the spec (as did, apparently, the original folks who first tried this on the SRF-M37). I opted for the same one because the original

Re: Radiolab filter mod for M37V ULR

Hi Mike, Just for clarification, the LTS450GW filter that Radiolab uses is a specified 9kHz bandwidth filter, not 4.5 kHz--one has to read the spec closely--it says "+/-4.5 kHz". That's a pretty wide

Re: DT-400W filter mod results comments

Steve, Yep, I don't know of any suppliers that will sell single quantities of these Euroquartz filters. In separate threads on the Sony SRF-M37 some had purchased the 4.5 KHz version directly from

Re: SRF-M37V and SRF-M37W-Performance differences?

Kevin (and all) Just received my upgraded M37V from Radiolabs. I must say, while it may not be up to fishing out splits from across the ocean, the nominal 4.5 KHz Euroquartz LTS450GW makes the

Re: DT-400W filter mod results comments

Steve, Did you ever get the opportunity to test the Euroquartz LTS450GW4.5 KHz filter which Radiolabs is selling? They just installed one in my SRF-M37 and the selectivity improvement here in RF Hell

Hey Mark: It's great that the 4 of you got out. As an urbanite who lives in and amongst a lot of RF noise, your trip summary gives me inspiration to do the same when the weather improves a bit. With
