Re: (meteorobs) Radio, Review Icom R-75
Sorry about tacking that on the end of Robert Lunsford message. was going to
delete that before sending. As a follow up, am now listening to the sound
of meteor echos through the main TV Antenna system. This is a 4 element TV
antenna aimed up about 45 degrees and a radio shack mast mounted preamp. I
get echo even with the attenuator selected. Without it I still have the rf
gain set to 50% and still getting good signal in SSB mode. In other words...
I LIKE IT.
