Or maybe you don't listen very well. I said nothing about a several volt signal. I'm talking about 40 over s9. Maybe I should have explained it better to the group. No the nb is not on as this will cause distortion depending upon the blanking level. (IF) blanking. I expected that some would trust that others actually know as much or more than some and know better than making the mistake of feeding a several volt signal or having the blanker on at a high level and not seeing distortion. Or maybe we can be helpful and not flame. This is not cb so maybe we should be less critical of others. Cb'ers would flame. And you have no idea that I'm an EE for General Electric. I'll forgive you. Maybe we can just relax and act like ham's not Cb'ers.. ;) Randy K8RDD ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Brown" <j...@audiosystemsgroup.com> To: "Elecraft List" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 4:23 PM Subject: [Elecraft] My "Attitude"
