Laboenligne.ca | MFJ-1708SDR review - Share your antenna between your transceiver and an SDR @Laboenligne | Uploaded January 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
With all the low-cost performance SDR available these days, we can have a lot of fun experimenting with it. But we need antenna, with the MFJ-1708SDR you can share your favorite HF antenna with an SDR.
This arrangement allows you to simultaneously watch and listen. Then, when you are key up to transmit, the MFJ-1708SDR cuts off and grounds the SDR antenna line, providing your SDR with bullet-proof protection from damaging RF. It`s the perfect plug-and-play solution for upgrading your shack to wide-screen living color.
MFJ-1708SDR uses the PTT signal from your rig to initiate the switching, but as a fail-safe measure, built-in RF sense circuitry will provide a measure of safety if the PTT connection is lost.
In this video you will find a quick review and demonstration.
