Is it possible your rig has AGC that's keeping strong signals down rather than the rejection/selection capabilities of your receiver? Just asking.. I don't know the answer.

During the past 3 years, I've worked one CQWW and one ARRLDX contest from the Northeast with a SteppIR yagi feeding an ANAN-100D with 0dB attenuation and never experienced overload during the weekends. FWIW, there's a clear indicator on the PowerSDR screen if ADC overload should ever occur. The superior rx audio clarity of the direct sampling front end radio is a game changer to me, although I'm not a fan of computer GUI's. So I'm looking forward to widespread use of direct sampling front ends by all-in-one-box hf xcvrs. 73, Barry N1EU ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
