Does anyone have a design for a good daylight receiver? My K3PGP front
end won't hear much in daylight. I'm not looking for something that is
super sensitive--just good enough for a LOS QSO on a sunny afternoon. I
was thinking about putting the RX in a black box and using a very small
lens, thus limiting the amount of total light hitting the surface. I
may also try using a low-value resitor on my OPT310 RX to widenthe BW
and decrease the gain. Right now it makes a pretty good oscillator if
you hit it with the laser directly :-)
( and yes, I'm too poor to to afford narrowband filters)
