The RF Workbench / Re: Passive Squelch Circuit

Military radios have a syllabic rate squelch, the king of all squelches.

The Icom 746Pro has a squelch like these and it works fairly well, wish all hf rigs had one.

Shame they don't fire up on 20m so we can hear them directly in the USA. I suppose 20m is too long for the RU and UA stations to work each other.

Can just detect a carrier here @ 2249Z, tstorm activity as well as a random s9 streetlight ballast singing the song of its people covering up any chance at audio recovery. The Pro2 nb does a great job but not a miracle.

That's neat and all but women show psa in their blood yet don't even have a prostrate so wtf. In 100 years people will be horrified by the vulgarity we call health, nutrition, and medicine today.

1n5711 and bat46 are tops for silicon diodes, try a 1n34a for "geranium" diodes, better than a 1n60.

It's crazy land involving the Iranians and the North Koreans. All that fighting for the Bekaa Valley and the ports of Lebanon for the past 40 years? It's over the opium and hash produced there. It finances  the Mullah-Kim alliance. Trump turning tail and skedaddling in Syria? It opens up wide a drug and weapons transportation ground route from the Med to Karachi, Pakistan.

Way to go Don. I hope pissing hookers were worth selling your country down the road for decades.

Under the rule of noted humanitarians taliban, Astan poppy production plummeted, under W and 0bama, because USMC was protecting the crop, poppy production soared. I suppose this is since Russia is the main user, you know, contribute to the misery of your enemy's people and all that any way you can, also cia charter says cia agents can commit crime to fund operations if the agent his/herselfdoesn't profit. Syria doesn't grow much but sand fleas an terrorists.
