SSB Receiving Adaptors
 

Anyone ever play around with a B&W 370 or the Central
Electronics sideband slicer units? Interested in comments,
how well they worked, experiences, and what receivers you
might have tried them on.

I have a CE that's going on a SX-28A eventually, and I am
waiting for a BW 370 for my AR-88.

I used a CE Signal Slicer with a HQ140X. It did an outstanding job. The
slicer also had a notch filter, which worked fairly well too.

They are all good. Most of the time the am boys (and girls) removed these
accessories because of the "clutter". The older receivers are limited for
sideband use by high frequency oscillator stability, so the combination may
not be as good as a more modern receiver with crystal controlled front end.

If you like to twiddle dials, they are perfect. Audio is usually very good.

I have an RME-4350A receiver with the RME-4301 Sideband Selector. The
setup works well, but the 40dB unwanted sideband supression seems a bit
optimistic. The critical issue is the accuracy of the phase-shift
network. I suspect that component drift over the years has degraded
the performance of these devices.

I have to agree with Colin. Although they'll all work just fine, the final
results may be less than what you may be expecting. Used with an R-390,
390A, et al, you have a fine combination. Also, I'll add the Hammarlund
HC-10 to the list.
