There are at least two other ways of knocking down interference from nearby AM broadcast stations. Each requires the choice of a particular type of antenna. The first is to use a balanced tuner of the link-coupled type (the Johnson Matchbox and Annecke Coupler are the most famous examples)

Somewhere in the back of my head is a recollection of issues surrounding spurious signals caused by the mixing of strong signals in things like corroded gutter joints etc. If there is a strong signal present from the AM station at all times then the other signal varying in strength might cause

While the rusty bolt syndrome is real, what is being discussed here is likely what is called am broadcast bleed through. This is a consequence of a direct conversion receiver and as I understand it is second order issue in the receivers front end, which basically makes it act as a detector to

Gary, As an alternative to using RX SHFT, you could try reducing gain in the RF section if you have the preamp on. Try preamp at the 10dB setting or preamp off. 73, Rich AC7MA On 01/09/2013 07:15 AM, Gary Auchard wrote: I posted a question concerning an issue with broadcast band

Check the addresses of your local AM radio broadcasters. You may have one very close to you and not know it. Here's a way to find where and who the broadcaster is. If you have an AM radio in the house compare the signal on the KX3 with those you hear on the AM radio to see if you can identify
