IF Output Modification

Basic Information

This modification provides a tap of the Jupiter's internal 12KHz IF at a connector on the rear panel of the radio. This is intended to facilitate reception of Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) as well as other, future digital-mode broadcasts.

Contact John W3GQJ directly for information about his success and comments about the excellent quality of his DRM reception using the Jupiter 12Khz IF feed.

John can be reached at "w3gqj at arrl dot net" (address disguised by request!)
