6 meter LNA for the 7000

Postby Tom AA4VV » Tue Apr 21, 2020 2:29 am

Hi Scott,
You have mentioned somewhere that someone might try to get the 6 meter LNA to work on 15,12, and 10 meters to improve the RX performance of those bands. Do you know if anybody is working on this (for the 7000) and if so do you know if it would be a software or hardware change?


Thanks

There was an ill-fated attempt at this, once upon a time. See this topic:

I have not studied this problem extensively, but I believe there are some fundamental hardware characteristics that make this impractical.
