Yup; probably the better way to go. You can buy a simple SDR receiver for about $18 that hooks up to you PC or laptop and comes with an antenna. Does SSB and FM too.www.websdr.org and choose one that can hear you.
I tried that.....didnt work....lots of feedback.I always used a second rig with the RF gain turned down, no antenna connected, through a set of headphones. Not economical unless you have a second rig already.

I recently saw what you are asking about on e-bay.
It was basically an in-line unit like Robb outlined.
You used a coax jumper into the assembled unit
between the antenna and the transmitter.
Your headphones are plugged in for you to monitor.
It was $39.00.
I looked again ad did not see it.
I believe these are often listed.

Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned |
