Hi Nigel,
Thanks for the offer, well I am not in a hurry, just take your time.....I have many other project to go
on.
About 10-15years ago I tried to copy MFS but due to the close proximity of DCF I was unable to copy.... maybe I did not pay attention to the selective active antenna and so on.....
do you think that I will be able? to receive MFS in Frankfurt?????
Cheers, Ernie.

Hi Ernie
I have some paperwork on the RCC8000, part, if not all, of some sort of
manual and perhaps some schematics too.
If that sounds vague it's because it was sent to me a few years ago and soon
ended up in storage.
I didn't reply earlier as I couldn't find it at home, which means it's
probably still buried in storage and I have no idea when I'm likely to find it.
If nobody else has a copy, and you don't mind waiting, I'm happy to share
what I've got.
It might be soon, but it could be quite a wait.
I have a couple of RCC8000s, also buried somewhere so it's a while since
I've seen them too, but I suspect any difference, aside from a fairly minor
retune of the receiver, is going to be in the firmware.
Both mine are for MSF and I have no idea whether or not there will be any
firmware information in the documentation I have.
I know it'll be a pain if you're so close to DCF77, but I don't think it
should be very difficult to knock up a reasonable antenna for MSF, which might
make life a lot easier.
regards
Nigel
