John L,

What are you using for an antenna, pre-amp, line isolator, etc? This 'low=
fer receiving' is quit an art unto its self and not all of us have good e=
nough receiving sites to copy signals like Larry can. Lot of help and inf=
o available for the asking, though. =20

This got me interested, so I fired up the old Drake R8, hooked up the big=
 =20
antenna...and right on 185.3 is a S9+++ 60 cycle hum. At least, sound =20
like a hum, but you can tune away from it. Shut off computer, noise went =20
away. Only thing is, hard to run Argo without the computer....
