Hi Fred (Skip) Sadly, many of those are splattering so wide that you can hear them on the opposite sideband. Unfortunately, a report of great audio does not mean great IMD performance.
Don't take this the wrong way, I am not saying you have bad IMD it just that you can't relate the 2 has being an indicator. With a good radio and a good waterfall you can see it plain as day. There are a few locals (aka here in ve3 land) that I 'watch' routinely with their top end Yaesu's (5000's) and they sound awesome, but they have the absolute worst splatter you have ever seen. One guy on 80M was absolutely understandable when I listened to him on USB. Nate, glad you got it figured out. I'm sure we have all been there (me included). 73 all, Mike va3mw On Wed, Aug 28, 2019 at 9:43 PM Nate Bargmann <n...@n0nb.us> wrote: > I think I better take a mea culpa on this one.
