[Lowfer] Selective level rcvr VS receive converter???

Fri, 4 Jan 2002 16:04:41 -0800 (PST)

Hi,

I think it all depends on the brand/model of SLV.  I
don't know where a TS-440 stands as far as noisefloor
& sensitivity but this site
http://www.sherweng.com/table.html has some
interesting comparisions.  My HP3586B with no antenna
attached, in 3100Hz filter mode, the noisefloor is 
-122dBm; in the 400Hz filter mode, the noisefloor is 
-124dBm; & in the 20Hz filter mode, the noisefloor is
-129dBm.  I'm not sure what it's sensitivity is
without flipping thru the ops manual which I do not
have accessible to me right now.

What the heck, get both SLV & the converter & test'em.
