[Milsurplus] RBB/RBC overload - NOT!!!!!!

[W7QHO at aol.com]

All,

My only experience with an RAL has been on the ham bands, but I find it has 
the same "capture" problem with strong adjacent signals common to all 
regenerative receivers.   The two RF stages help but do not eliminate the problem.   
Fire up a TBL (for ex) nearby and the RAL would not be likely to hear anything 
else.   Not overloading in the sense of the term as applied to superhets, I 
guess, but essentially the same end result.

Having said that, though, I'm   impressed by the old Gob.   Holds it's own 
just fine on the modern ham bands unless someone fires up an old BC rig nearby.  
 What with no AGC, regeneration and multiple RF peaking controls one has to 
fly this bird continuously too.   Fun being back so close to nature.
