[amsat-bb] R7000 rx and Wxsats?

["A.Bombardiere" <ab2cj@xxxxxxxx>]

         Greetings all...

 

         Is there anyway to tap into the Icom R7000's receiver to improve its reception of

     WXsats?  I have the AM IF set to the wide position, but its not the 40Khz wide

     IF requiered for the NOAA birds.  I've been using Wxsat, the sound card program

     which seems to work very well, but because of the narrow IF, the images are dark

     and marginal at best.  Since the receiver offers both a narrow and wide IF for AM,

     I thought it might be posible to replace the wide filter with one that would allow for 

     the wide 40Khz signal, and use the narrow IF for air band monitoring,etc. I would

     appreciate any comments or suggestions.
