Warren, Please allow me put my two cents. I would not expect so if the spreading code is the same. The adventage of CDMA is code orthogonality, each user has a different chipping code that has little correlation with other user's codes., and so, there is little mutual QRM. As far as I

I am using a similar interface with two transformer and an optocoupler. I DO RECOMMEND an optocoupler for avoiding problems with high induced EMF's due to thunder EMP. It is important down here. The solution for those old rigs is to use an external digital VFO, say a PLL or a DDS, I would
