Equipment / USB Pirate Station, audio bandwidth

« on: October 09, 2019, 1336 UTC »

hello,

I wonder what kind of TRX American USB pirate do use for broadcast ?
Is that (un)modified audio bandwidth HAM rig ? Or are they using standard rig with USB cut-off audio bandpass 2,4 or 2,7 k ?

For now, I'm only use AM but it will be funny to make some tests in SSB mode.
Some HAM rigs have very narrow bandwidth about 2,4k wich is too much narrow.
The idea would be to find a rig with 2,7k (or maybe 2,9k) not too expensive for testing. Or bypass the audio filter and limiting bandwidth with equalizer.

Thanks for info

Hello,

In an inverted L antenna system, must the counterpoise be below and // from the horizontal fed ? or can it be in the opposite direction (but still //) ?
