[IRCA] Vroom: New Hotrodded E100

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dennis,

Really glad to hear that your new Steve Ratzlaff-modified E100 has 
paid off on its first morning.  Having that external antenna port and 
using the E100 with the EWE from the shack sure beats running outside 
to hold the radio against the antenna, eh???

I think that you'll really like the much tighter IF filter, too. Tell 
me, does your dial now read accurately.... is the passband centered 
on the signal when the dial says that it should be???  Both of my 
E100s were over 500 Hertz off until I put new filters in them... the 
better filter got them perfectly zeroed in.

I've found that I need to off-tune a kilohertz to get the best 
intelligibility on the stronger/wider signals, just like the old days 
before SSB.... using a tight filter and riding one sideband or the 
other to get the high notes.

Anyway, I think that you are really going to love that Ultralight radio.

John B.
