Thanks for the info, John. From your pics, it looks like the CR-1a in
combination with Todd's upconverter is more than equal to the task of most
LF weak signal receiving challenges.

How accurate is the CR-1a's frequency display? All the pics I've seen only
display a frequency accuracy to the nearest 100 Hz.
