I recently noticed that my BITX40 DIGI-TIA sounds surprisingly good with AM signals &#8212; I just treat them as SSB signals and zero-beat the carrier with my Si5351 VFO. I wanted to try doing the same thing with the 2-B, and then make some comparisons. I only heard a few AM signals this morning, so I will try again later today and will report results here. <\/b><\/p>\n<p> Our book: &#8220;SolderSmoke &#8212; Global Adventures in Wireless Electronics&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/soldersmoke.com\/book.htm\">http:\/\/soldersmoke.com\/book.htm<\/a> Our coffee mugs, T-Shirts, bumper stickers: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/SolderSmoke\">http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/SolderSmoke<\/a> Our Book Store: <a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/contracross-20\">http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/contracross-20<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alan&#8217;s video inspired me to do a little work with my Drake 2-B.
