Very good receiver for the money, 1 watt transmitter.

Pasted from the Peaberry forum:


You are not imagining it. It's really good. Down 80 or 90 dB.

On transmit, I actually had to go through some effort to find the image on the receiver ... and it nulled out so far that I ended up using my spectrum analyzer.
I don't recall exactly but it was better than 70 dB OSR.

Also, it bears repeating: BDR at 2 kHz is 105 dB and two-tone 3rd order at 2 kHz is 99 dB.

Take those numbers, and see where the Peaberry V2 would place on Rob Sherwood's list:

Tied for 5th place. One 'click' less than a K3.

That is why I put it in the modern rigs.

I do not have much use for a 1 watt transmitter, but the receiver is very good on AM (and other modes).

Its a usb based unit, no fancy sound cards needed, works with a bunch of programs (psdr, sdr-console, hdsdr, sdr#.

Really good performance for the price.
