[Lowfer] rx setup

[Eric Smith]

Got it!  IT does help.  I've been seeing just that:  when receiving my 
medfer on my bcb am radio, I tune it until I hear a nice tone -- argo 
reports about 900 Hz.

That all makes perfect sense -- when I get a synthesized receiver next 
month I'll be able to do as you told me.

THE BOTTOM LINE:  I didn't realize that the frequency of the audio tone I 
was hearing was the difference between the frequency of the carrier and 
the frequency of my tuner!

SO now I know ... I think I'm all set!  I just need a real receiver and 
not this 60's model tube rig I have...

By the way, I have been setting money back for a decent xceiver.  Lyle 
mentioned that with cigarettes being $30 a carton (is that right?  WOW!) a 
$500 radio is a bargain.  He's right, and my goal is to take about $600 
with me to the hamfest in March.

Should be easy:  I don't have cable TV, for example, and that is about 
$50/month.  Considering I've been married 10 years, or 120 months, all 
with no cable -- I've saved about $6000!

I should just take that 6 grand to the hamfest with me, huh?  :)

Regards,
Eric
