Anyone ever used one of these as a receiver with a transmitter?

Not me but it covers 64-1700 Mhz only afaik.

Hopefully you'll get a response here but I think most of the regulars on amfone are alergic to anything above 7.3 MHz.   ;D  ;)

Well AM activity can be found on 50MHz and in some parts all the way up to the two meter band. At least include our interests up to 30 MHz. I agree the FUN in the Fun Cube is probably experienced on other forums but I think more than a few here will disagree that AM stops at 7.3 MHz.  ;D

KS2AM, W2VW, N3IBX, myself, and probably several others had done 2 meter AM with beams and ground plane type antennas, but, then again, we're cool and always trying to work the edge.  ;D

For some, if it's not a wire antenna and at least 300 feet long, it's not an antenna.  ;D

I have two Tecraft 220 mHz AM/CW transmitters, and just bought two 2m homebrew transmitters which will have modulators added soon.All tubes!!

I've been using one for over a year and a half now
Fun Cube Dongle Pro+

I put a coax Tee on the receive out of my dowkey and share that with my R388.
If i use the 388, I mute the FCDP+ and use it as a band scope or a receiver when I need the capability of SDR receive.

If I'm just in listening mode, I use the SDR and don't fire everything else up.
