In the ongoing discussion of spurs it is important to remember what is considered "good engineering practice". Think about the specifications for most transceivers. They quote spurious response "60dB down from full power" or so. The problem is, your panadaptor clearly displays output that is 100dB or more down. So spurious responses that are well within spec are clearly obvious. Not to mention that you can see spurs that are not in the passband and would never be detectable if they were present in other receivers.
So this whole problem of spurs needs to be taken in context. Just 'cause you can see 'em doesn't necessarily mean that others can hear 'em or that they are going to interfere with your own operation. Such are the problems that come from new technology that pushes back the limits to where the heretofore-hidden blemishes become apparent. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 [email protected] +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.931.492.6776 (USA) (+1.931.4.WB6RQN) _______________________________________________ Flexedge mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz This is the FlexRadio Systems e-mail Reflector called FlexEdge.
