[R-390] Softrock Lite II 455KHz

[Thomas Frobase]

I actually think that CW and SSB is where it excels, takes a little while to
get used to the delay, but the results are assume.  The rock solid stability
of the 390 and the ability to slice through the 16 kHz band spread and pick
any one of many CW signals is just amazing to me, as well as little or no
ringing for my old ears.

 

The Delta card should work just fine!  . tom, N3LLL

Tom, what is your experience with that scheme on SSB/CW with the '390A?

 

I'm working toward a very similar setup with an M-Audio Delta soundcard.  I
just upgraded a free pc to run Win7 64 bit at 3.2 Ghz...next step is the
downconversion to baseband to feed into the soundcard.

 

       Thanks for your feedback,

 

          Dennis

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
