[600MRG] 630 meter Kits, and Transverters

[J Mcvey]

Heathkit rebounding? Their site looks like a half baked yard sale of unsaleable 70's leftovers at crazy prices.  Don't hold your breath waiting for something worth having from them!If you don't like the dongle SDR radios, I'm sure there is an article about MF converters from QST or an offering on some Ham's website if you google it.There isn't much to it. Basically a converter/mixer stage designed to heterodyne 479 KHZ to maybe 1.8 MHZ just like they do in the superhetrodyne receivers.
A google search yielded this:http://www.amrad.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/AMRAD_Low_Frequency_Upconverter-1.pdf
A bit overdone, IMO, but you get the idea...

 Hello..!

 

On the topic of a lack of gear for MF I put a bunch of idea's in the slowly
rebounding Heath Kit company

Of offering such a thing on the basis that it would put them in the middle
of a historic event of Ham

Radio's return to the Place in the spectrum where it all started. They have
not replied but I did not

Really think they would respond with much. But perhaps if more of us put
this suggestion in their ear?
