Re: [amsat-bb] IC-910H converter protection

["John Wilcox" <ns1z@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use the Vertex/Yaesu VR-5000 receiver as a tuneable i.f. in my set up. The
added benefit is the spectrum analyzer display that shows me where the
action is.

I also built a 2mtr to 10mtr receive converter but have since sold the 10
meter rig...
