Hi, you experts! New member here.
How very strange I seem to miss the boat so regularly.
After a lifetime (nearly) lusting after a GE YRS-1, finally came across a reference just before Xmas on
https://antiqueradios.com/. Knocked off a quick reply, but the thread is probably dead.
Then just now found one on eBay, sold last October for $9.99 (plus crazy postage).
And then you guys, still at it
.
What doesn't seem to get a mention (except by Pat Hawker) is what GE's "Lighthouse Larry" (George H Floyd) did with it, as he described in his 1951 G E Ham News: modified the output to feed LSB to Left and USB to Right audio channels... Binaural Sideband reception.
The phasing method quickly went extinct, and so did binaural.
Binaural has hardly received a mention, let alone implementation, in 70 years. It has been an obsession since early teens, and I finally got around to trying it this autumn, using Gnu Radio Companion. It works, it is beautiful, it would surely help LW/MW Dxers, especially with slight carrier offsets.
Happy New Year.
Paul
