6 dB is the IARU recommendation, but when we were trying to decide what level to use, we consulted various references and looked at lots of receivers. They were all over the map--between 3 and 6 dB--so we used 5. That said, I admit to putting a certain spin on it to make my point. There's a first time for everything :) 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
