[R-390] Softrock Lite II 455KHz

[Thomas Frobase]

Over the past few years I had been using an FRG-7700 tuned to 455KHz for a
SSB converter.  I have fixed multiple CV-591 but have never been overly
impressed with the sound quality.  

 

This year at Dayton I spent the stately amount of $21 for a Softrock Lite II
kit.  I finally got around to building the thing this weekend, I can say
that I am totally impressed with the performance.  I am using it with a Dell
OptiPlex 755 I bought at Micro Center at as a refurb with Windows 7 for $260
and version 2 of Simon Browns SDR-Radio.  So even assuming the eBay price
for a CV-591 ranges from $250 - $500, I think the softrock is a great
solution.  I know this is heresy but this just adds a whole new dimension to
my 390 experience .  73 .  tom, N3LLL
