So what? It hasn't been legal to operate a spark transmitter for a couple generations. You don't even have to be a ham to build, just pick up some of the early books and follow the instructions. The receivers of that era would be useless in today's congested RF spectrum, as well. On the other hand if you can design and build a state of the art communications system without outside help, that is something to brag about. -- Link to my "Computers for disabled Veterans" project website deleted after threats were telephoned to my church.

I can't imagine why we should be. I've been a ham for nearly 50 years (Extra class for more than 40) and have never paid a cent for my license (or my commercial FCC licenses, for that matter). Can't recall the last time I rode on a bus. But the 17.5% tax I'll pay on everything I buy in your fine country during an upcoming trip will be my small contribution to your continued enjoyment of your lifestyle. Then I'll return to Oregon, where we have no sales tax and I can ride on the light rail for a couple of hours for a bit under a pound. Even for those of us who aren't pensioners.

What frequency? The last system I worked on was a 70 MHz IF with a 90 MHz upper limit for a dual channel telemetry receiver with a diversity combiner all done in the digital domain.. It was the L3-Com/Microdyne RCB-2000. It also had a 70 MHz IF output that was regenerated after the FIR filters to feed wideband logging recorders for later analysis. Multiple IF bandwidths and Video bandwidths. It was controlled by a custom GUI under embedded NT, and had IEEE-488, RS-232 and Ethernet ports for remote programming and control. All for just $80,000 per radio. The DR-2000 was the same basic radio chassis, but it was just single channel receiver. -- Link to my "Computers for disabled Veterans" project website deleted after threats were telephoned to my church.

Reg, the bomber terrorist sitting next to you on that bus seems to have received as many benefits from the British government as you do. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- Article: 50998 of rec.radio.amateur.digital.misc Subject: Re: Removal of Morse Code from Amateur License Requirements...

Being retired, I don't know what the upper frequency limit is for DSP sampling nowadays. I was using one million samples per second systems at Intel ten years ago.
