reception power?

Ohm meter Is this the joke section.

 

I use my 50 year old noise bridge ....

 

I used to know a "Plum Crazy" in Ft Walton Beach, FL, back in 1975-76????

 

Take it to a reputable technician with the proper equipment to realign the front end and drop the noise floor down to 1/100'th of a microvolt so you can hear weak signals.

 

.01 UV Thats a real trick at 3 KHZ bandwidth ,,,,

 

Here's some tested reception sensitivity, mostly european models: http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z458/hakkeri2/MittauksetuVmuodossa.jpg

.15 UV not .01 UV .......And personly .15 UV is streching it .........on AM What is the point of that low a noise floor ?

I run very low noise receivers on VHF and .15UV is about all you can use at 144 or 440 mhz ....

The TS-2000 has a external pereamp running ablot a 1 DB NF and 20 db of gain ..... The preamp is behind the copper colored filter to the right of the radios.

 

QUOTE="Big_m, post: 2470601, member: 34203"]TX is transmit. And 10-15 miles is very good for TX & RX for a CB. Most CB's don't TX more than 5-10 miles.[/QUOTE]
I think you would be surprised how far 4 watts will transmit to my receiver with
-125 dB receiver sensitivity. 30 miles on flat ground or 15 miles in mountains seems average. Until you experience
-125db receive, that 5-10 miles would be about right but completely useless for my taste.

 

Whatever became of Bruce?

 

Since he got his new test equipment he has been able to push boundaries even further down to .001uv =-167db on some model rigs. Every year he gets better and better at what he does while other technicians are playing catch up.
