: Has anyone used the IF output of the R-7000 to drive a wide band IF
: system for the reception of Wefax and/or APT ? If so, can you provide
: info on the outboard IF system you used ?
I've used the r7000 for both ppurposes with delightful results using wide-band IF and a good rf preamp. I get noise free Wefax and 8 to 10 minutes of noise free APT into the decoder board. I'm pleased with the results and cost. For APT I used a Ramsey 2 meter pre-amp costing about $15.00.
