New MFJ SDR Protection Switches [Image] MFJ has added to our line of SDR switches with the addition of the MFJ-1708B-SDR and the MFJ-1708B-SDR-S. For $99.95 and $104.95, the new switches feature many new improvements. They have four relays and connectors on a single pc board. This gives you > 50 dB isolation at 300 MHz and > 68 dB at 50 MHz. SWR < 1.16:1 at 50 MHz and < 1.75:1 at 450 MHz at the transmit port. Mute output is a selectable short or open to ground. Use ?boat anchors? or modern receivers or key a linear amplifier. Receiver input protection prevents overload from nearby high power signals and from receive to transmit. A hybrid splitter on SDR models reduces loading effect and gives > 15 dB isolation between the SDR REC and XCVR ports to reduce interference. The original MFJ-1708 series is still available.

Listening to the VoIP Hurricane Net, the Maritime Mobile Service Net and the Hurricane Watch Net will give you a great deal of information on how to properly run and participate in an emergency Net. As Sub-Tropical Storm Alberto nears landfall in Florida, Mississippi and Alabama, you can listen to emergency Nets on EchoLink and IRLP. The VoIP Hurricane Net has Listen-Only nodes. The primary Listen Only node on EchoLink is Node 9123. You can also listen on any of the other Listen-Only nodes on the list below. These nodes have been set up so that those in affected areas and those running Net Control operations can do so without other operators accidentally transmitting during an active Net. Here is the list: IRLP: Reflector 9553 Adelaide Australia Reflector channel 3. Reflector 9123 New England Reflector channel 3 and/or Reflector 9129 New England Reflector channel 9 (Currently using IRLP 9123) EchoLink: *NEW-ENG3* Node: 9123 (when not in use for local SKYWARN in New England) *VKEMCOMM* Node: 270177 *KA1AAA* Node: 269929 *KC4QLP-C* Node: 290251 (at discretion of the node owner) *N5API* Node: 77433 (at discretion of the node owner) The Maritime Mobile Service Net operates on 14.300 MHz USB. The Hurricane Watch Net operates on 14.325 MHz USB. You should hear more activity on these Nets over the next 3-4 days.
