[ARC5] Selectivity and the BC-455

[DSP3]

Gents,

If I may say without seeming to toot a horn I just blew into..... The ER 
Article I did a few months ago on the R-26 and the BC-454 selectivity 
mod, I just did another R27 and it really did improve things, a lot.  I 
have not done the quantitative measurements, yet, but I can say that the 
40 meter band does sound a lot better.  Along with a non-destructive 
bracke- mounted Jackson drive, its a pleasure to tune, now.  Just a 
couple of thoughts.....
