Hi Lyle,
You might try adding an attenuator between the K3 IF out and the LP-PAN
IF in and see if the overloading disappears. If so, it might indicate
the LP-PAN system is overloading rather than the K3.

Of course, the device or transmitter generating this signal at 6980.36 kHz
might in fact be operating at a sub-harmonic frequency e.g. a MF BC station,

Yes indeed as both you and Joe, W4TV, have suggested before. Nickel plated
coax connectors can create similar problems.

Hi All,
I was just wondering about the 40 m and started to listen to the AM
broadcasts.
I also found the nasty noises, but when I checked on the LP-Pan, I found the
signal was ok.
Of course, when I turned off the noise blanker it went away.
Yet another senior moment.

In many cases you can use the DSP noise blanker instead of the IF
blanker. The DSP blanker has the advantage of the narrow crystal filter
ahead of it, and in many cases this will eliminate wideband intermod.
Or
Further to Joe's suggestion: I've heard of a strong local signal being
rectified in rusty guttering giving problems to a beam in just one
direction. Took years to find that one.
Reminds me of something which happened many years ago here in Southern
Germany.

Hi Steve. Apparently there has been a problem with the messages to me from
the LP-PAN Yahoo Group, so this digest is the first I am aware of your post.
Sorry about that. I think it has been resolved now.
It sounds like you may have to check your gain setting in LP-PAN, as well as
the input level
1. Is it normal to expect the K3's front end to overload under these
conditions?
Are you sure the K3 front end is overloading and not the LP-PAN system
(QSD, attached soundcard)? Are you experiencing symptoms that suggest

I would be checking your system (including the antenna and
nearby structures) for problems ... I'm a whole lot closer
to WYFR (105 miles) and they do not generate any overload
or buckshot on my K3 with SDR-IQ and SpectraVue.

You are using a doublet and tuner: to what frequency is the tuner tuned? Do
you get the same response if the tuner is set differently?
