[ARC5] BC-348 tuning rate and article

[Hubert Miller]

This message helped clarify my thinking for me. 
The point, I think, is to "re-create the experience" when restoring the gear. 
Not to build yourself a modern viable radio out of obsolete stuff. 
There are things we can do with our time that have a point and some that have no point.
I recall seeing a video of some guy with a 1 kW CB backpack radio. Yes, that's right. 
What we "can do" is not always worth doing.

>Hi,

I hope to not be excommunicated.

I don't have one of those radios. I don't recall even seeing one in person.

Some of the radios with wide system passbands and/or fast tuning rate can be 'tamed' with computer sound card DSP and computer sound card SDR software. No mods are required in the radio, not even 'easily reversed' 
mods. None. Zero. No mods are required to the computer or sound card. 
Not even 'easily reversed' mods. Zero. None. The SDR software will take care of the wide passband and to some extent the tuning rate. The SDR software does a nice job with both.

Forgive me my friends for I know I have sinned.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers reading this and to all the men's mothers and the mothers of their children:)
