Here's a question for you receiver gurus. I own a Kenwood TS-830S and a TS-850S/AT. The '830 is dual conversion and the '850 is triple conversion. The '830 has a 455kHz I.F. output and the '850 can receive 455kHz. If I attenuated the '830's I.F. output down to, say, 50 microvolts with a source impedance of about 50 ohms, would there be anything to be gained (pun intended) by connecting the I.F. output of the '830 to the input of the '850?
Wouldn't this result in a quintuple conversion receiver? Would it be a better receiver than either one alone? (Transmitting, of course, would be out of the question!) What do you think?
73, Curt, K4TL
