That keeps throwing me. I hear 'limiter' and I go towards the receiver. A limiter is a low IF amplifier that is biased to go into saturation with very little input. This clips off amplitude peaks, on even weak signals, which are going to be generated by either man-made or natural noise. Thus the advantage of using FM in the first place. I'm used to calling what you describe a 'clipper' or, in Motorola terminology, an IDC circuit. Ah well, you say 'tomato' and I say 'rutabaga'...;cD -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL
