In this episode, Gary, W9XT, tells us all about Beverage antennas.  Invented in the 1920's by Harald Beverage at AT&amp;T, the Beverage antenna is widely used by serious DXers on the low HF bands including 160, 80 and 40 meters.  The Beverage antenna reduces the received signal strength and greatly reduces noise to make it easier to pick out weak signals.

Ham Radio Workbench Podcast

Dr. Jack Mandelman K1VT joins us to talk about being a Ham and living in a neighborhood with an HOA that restricts antenna installations.  We will talk about approaches and some equipment that one can use to be active on HF when living with such restrictions. We also touch on the role that transmitting and receiving magnetic loop antennas can play in getting you on the air from within an HOA restricted area.

HRWB057-Antennas for HOA Restricted Areas

To mark the launch of the BayNet Brandmeister Talk Group 31075, Kirk Smith K6RCT (Operator of the K6DOA DMR Repeater in SLO) joins us to talk Digital Mobile Radio, or DMR.  DMR is a digital radio standard developed for use in commercial radio applications.  Because of its commercial background, there are several operating and technological concepts that are unique to DMR that differ from what we are used to in other Amateur Digital Voice modes such as DSTAR and Yaesu System Fusion.  In part one of this two part series, Kirk walks us through these fundamental DMR terms and concepts. In part two, we will talk about Brandmeister, cBridges topics and radio gear.

HRWB069-What is Arduino

We are proud to announce that Jeremy’s Wife Brittany, Mrs. IJZ, is now KE8LCA! She has already filed a vanity application for KF8IJZ. She joins us this week to talk through some questions from the current Technician question pool around electronics and antenna characteristics. This is also our final show of calendar year 2018. Thank you each and every one of our listeners for making the show possible through your support and engagement. We look forward to a great 2019! We are very sorry to share that Dave Shoaf, KG6IRW, from Elecraft, who was our guest on the RF Power Amplifier episode (https://www.hamradioworkbench.com/podcast/hf-amplifiers), passed away. Dave was a very experienced and knowledgeable ham and a great guest. Our thoughts are with Dave’s family and our friends at Elecraft.

HRWB081-Software Defined Radio Receivers

Randy K7AGE of YouTube fame recently moved in to a new home on the coast of Oregon and had the enviable problem of outfitting his space for Ham Radio and Workbench activities.  This week, he joins us to talk about building his workbench as well as how to shop Ham Fests for great deals on test equipment.

HRWB079-New Pursuits in the Old Hobby

Eric Swartz WA6HHQ, co-founder of Elecraft, joins us to guide our understanding of RF receiver performance specifications.  Eric introduces us to common receiver specs such as Sensitivity, Noise Floor, Dynamic Range, Intermod Dynamic Range, Phase Noise, and RMDR.  He tells us what they mean in real-world receiver performance terms, how they are tested, and whether it’s better to have a higher or lower number in each one.  It’s also the final episode before the 2018 Hamvention and George and Jeremy share our plans for our Booth, special offers, and exclusives for show listeners who stop by booth 3104 in Xenia.

Minimum Discernible Signals - noise is generated inside the radio from the amplifier stages and how much amplification is available in the receive chain to bring a signal above the radio’s internal noise floor As sensitivity increases, you can degrade dynamic range To measure, start by injecting weak signals until you observe the signal level out of the speaker roughly double in amplitude (3dB) Lower values are better (bigger negative number), allowing you to detect weaker signals Most HF radios are between -125 to -130 with -135 to -138 being on the higher side of performance  Noise Floor  The internal noise figure generated by the radio with the antenna removed  Dynamic Range  Strong Signal Handling - how does the radio perform when there are strong signals adjacent to where you are tuned? IMDR3 - Intermodulation Dynamic Range When multiple strong received signals overload the first receiving amplifier in your radio, the signals get clipped When the radio has a broad banded receiver, this clipping begins to act as a mixer and creates intermodulation showing up at different frequencies Additional unwanted signals are created in the receiver when multiple strong signals are present To measure, begin with two signals apart - the difference between the MDS/sensitivity and the level required to set the signal generator to to cover up the weak signal Higher values are better - 90dB range above noise floor is average, mid 90’s to 100 dB is on the higher side of performance  Blocking Dynamic Range  A strong signal overloading your receiver thereby reducing the gain of the receiver. Receivers can have challenges when a strong signal is physically near the radio To measure, inject a signal until it causes receiver overall gain to drop one DB Higher values are better - typical better than 130dB of BDR, mid 130s to 140s is on the higher side of performance  Phase Noise  An indication of the quality and “cleanliness” of local oscilator (VFO, or Crystal Master Oscillator) Denotes whether they introduce jitter or noise to the received signal Lower is better  Reciprocal Mixing Dynamic Range (RMDR)  RMDR is tied to phase noise Impacted by how clean your oscillator is To measure, listen in 500hz bandwidth and measure how strong an injected signal has to be to raise the noise floor on the freq you are tuned to (1-3dB noise floor increase) This ratio is the RMDR Higher values are better - 110-115 dB As multiple signals get closer, the RMDR drops  Sherwood Engineering Receiver Comparison List - http://www.sherweng.com/table.html

Eric Swartz WA6HHQ, co-founder of Elecraft, joins us to guide our understanding of RF receiver performance specifications.  Eric introduces us to common receiver specs such as Sensitivity, Noise Floor, Dynamic Range, Intermod Dynamic Range, Phase Noise, and RMDR.  He tells us what they mean in real-world receiver performance terms, how they are tested, and whether it’s better to have a higher or lower number in each one.  It’s also the final episode before the 2018 Hamvention and George and Jeremy share our plans for our Booth, special offers, and exclusives for show listeners who stop by booth 3104 in Xenia.
