What does this mean for Mr. TU-X1?

Actually it has nothing do with TU-X1. If I record with TU-X1 I will have virtually the same result. The TU-X1 is bounded to Pacific A/D converter and Schwarz is bounded to Lavry. Schwarz and Lavry running on all time and I remote desktop my PC with recorder to record the programs that I like. Schwarz has advantage over TU-X1 that it does not require any RF attenuation – it would be difficult to do from PC. Schwarz also much less sensitive to the precision of antenna positioning – it is also default to do from PC… Another thing is that I feel that it is easy to run Lavry all time then Pacific. Pacific has A/D and D/A and run hot. I was trying to disconnect Pacific’s D/A section but in the end decided do not do it.

So, my use of Rohde & Schwarz the last few weeks is not a retirement of TU-X1 or my feeling that it underperform. If I fine the ways to rotate antenna, and tune on and off different tuner or A/D processors from my PC then I will permanently tune TU-X1 to one station and Schwarz to another station.

There is some consideration however. I can’t feed from one antenna two tuners without losing 3-4db. I need those dBs… I also do not know at this point how to position antenna very precisely without listing the signal (I can’t do it via remote desktop) as to measure modulation strength is not too indicative…
