If Ralf's hypothesis is correct, another approach (besides RX-shift) might be to turn on the RX ISO menu item. Doing that helps reduce the radiation of the local oscillator. - Les, W9XC Hi Klaus, I tried to provoke some AM breakthrough with my active antenna in april and used a very strong

Is the preamplifier off and the attenuator on? With a large antenna the preamplifier is certainly not needed and enabling the attenuator usually won't hurt the sensitivity at all. If you are not sure, use the basic test to determine if any sensitivity loss is occurring: disconnect the external
