<DIV>Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV>I think a great interface for a preselector would be the DB25
on Ozy. We could output 16 bits of 4 bit BCD to give 10 KHz
resolution to tune a preselector, This would be the center
frequency on the display. Phil, You may remember the
schematic I sent you of the Cubic pre-post selector. There are
a number of different mil versions by Collins and Harris to name two
others. The Cubic is set up to handle 1/2 watt of power and has a TR
relay. </DIV>
<DIV>This would also be a good interface for anyone who would want
to build a homebrew preselector. I was on the air a few nights ago
and something in the area saturated the Mercury A/D for the first
time so I see a need for a better preselector rather than
a simple wideband filter. The Harris RF590 has a nice small tunable
unit but I don't know the interface. A serial string would
also work but I think 10 KHz resolution should be enough.</DIV>
<DIV>I have used my Cubic pre-post selector in series with Mercury
and find the performance quite good. I would think this is the
next step in improving a beautiful receiver. </DIV>

<DIV>P.S. My friends have been sending my on air tapes of Penny with
the comment that I have never sounded better. </DIV>
