Blocking-definitely. Desense of course implies a loss of sensitivity, which is not happening. Capture implies that the receiver still has it's squelch open, to me anyway. If it was CSQ, or the same tone, that would apply. IMHO... Blocking is used in the commercial world (especially cellular) to indicate that something external to the radio system is preventing the rx from hearing the desired signal, and causing it to mute. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
