Cross Country Wireless release HF Preselector<\/h1>\n

Cross Country Wireless have released a HF Preselector<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It is a passive high Q design that does not use an amplifier or external power.<\/p>\n

It tunes from 0.5 to 52 MHz.<\/p>\n

It is ideal for use with simple SDR receivers like the RTF-SDR dongle with upconverter or SDRPlay. It can also be used with the new receiver socket modification on the IC-7300.<\/p>\n

The web page has more details including network analyser plots showing the selectivity of the Preselector.<\/p>\n
