I noticed recently that on an outside antenna my IFR 1500 was very confused by the two local NOAA frequencies, since they're close to each other and I receive each equally well. Receiver in the IFR was too wide, I assume -- but attenuation didn't really help. I think the two locals are 162.46 and 162.55 . I live in-between them. The lower of the two was fairly "clean" but the upper looked odd, sounded odd... and attempts at looking at deviation would have been foiled badly by the distortion. Something wasn't right. I'm not sure if that's the behavior I should expect from the IFR or not, but it's what I saw... Nate WY0X
