Re: Very Nice 8R-40 Incoming!
It might make a good filter for a radio with a 9 MHz IF. None of mine use that frequency. 73, Maynard W6PAP

Re: Very Nice 8R-40 Incoming!
I didn't have this radio when I ordered the filter.? I ordered it on the off-chance I could get it to work in my Heathkit DB-303 receiver. 73, -- Justin B. KI5GKD

Re: Very Nice 8R-40 Incoming!
Hi, Justin, The point where the "extra" contact is located in the 8R-40 is following demodulation and is at audio frequencies where the 9 MHz filter on Aliexpress would not work. Most commercial

DonThe load on the transformer is meaningless since the primary is fed with 31 volts instead of 120 volts RMS.? Since power is proportional to voltage squared, no real work is being done, nothing is

Halden, you must have the ears of an owl ! Why not try a small well insulated wire at the end of a scope probe, to act as a local capacitor coupling, and see if some rf ¡°jumps¡± onto the

Hi Jim , I believe your description, but you seem to have glossed over the fact that Halden¡¯s tests had a load on the transformer secondary, and that can¡¯t be ignored. if you remove the load,

The transformer winding failed due to bad insulation/damaged insulation and/or a bad bit of copper, IE: the copper had a small impurity that caused heat, and the insulation, which is about 80 years

Re: Very Nice 8R-40 Incoming!
Yes, the tone control switch disables AVC when set to "C.W." I prefer the independence of control that the S-40B provides. But one advantage of the 8R-40 might be the open switch contact on the tone
