[Lowfer] new receiver kit

[ku4xr at yahoo.com]

Hey All:

Assuming that this receiver will maintain .2uV Sensitivity into the
LF range; it should be hot as a pistol for reception. I would wonder
how stable a BFO system will be for the " Slow Modes "  The 2100Hz
selectivity can be overcome with outboard, or software audio filters.
Most of us have learned to live with 10Hz Resolution anyway

In comparison; my Kenwood TS450S only has 4uV Sensitivity at LF, so 
the N3ZI Rcvr will run circles around the General Coverage reciever

For the price; ( pretty reasonable ) once you get used to setting
the BFO for a given offset ( which is the only downside from my
perspective being used for very tight receiving ), It's very possible
that ( barring image or intermod ), 40dB rejection sounds pretty good,
but with a sensitivity of .2uV , it's possible that some outboard
filtering might be necessary for some users. Otherwise, it will
probably outperform what many of us have on our tables right now.
