[Milsurplus] Panadaptor Sweep Range

e & Group,

I meant to comment to an earlier post in this thread but got distracted by 
bills and didn't save it.  So I don't know who did the reply but they said they 
something like they thought the IF freq in Eric's unit had to be higher than 
455 KC because the sweep range max was 50 KC.  That isn't correct.  Several of 
the panadaptors made for use with the RBB/RBC (400 KC IF) had 50 KC sweep and 
several more had 100 KC.  The 5.25 MC IF input units all seem to have had 1 MC 
sweep and some of the 30 MC IF input units will do 10 MC sweep.
