I had <\/b>occasionally<\/b><\/span><\/span> fantasized about connecting Armand’s HRO dial to the rotary encoder of an Si5351, but I think this was more of a nightmare than a fantasy. I don’t think Stephen VK2BLQ went this far — I suspect that his HRO dial was connected to an analog VFO. But still, the combination of HRO with I&Q seems a bit edgy… FB Stephen. Please send us more info on this amazing receiver. <\/b><\/i><\/div>\n

Hi Bill,<\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
Hope you are safe there with the bad weather.<\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
Recently you mentioned HRO dials and the need to build a radio around one and Pete has been discussing phasing SSB; attached photo is a phasing receiver on 80 and 40 m, a combination of both HRO and IQ that I built many years ago, and thanks to Pete I shall get it running again.<\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
And Bill, like you I am from the IGY of 1958 and retired with more free time on my hands.<\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
Best regards to you and your family, especially young Billy.<\/b><\/div>\n
