If you're using the 2.8 or 2.1 filters for AM mode reception, it would

Yes, indeed it will. If you have the menu INP parameter set to HND, you

There have been numerous messages about this (not only with Windows

is to temporarily set the computer to a date just after the

actually tried that).

I recorded a few seconds of another ham's signal using the DVR so he could

To me that's an indication the DAC stages are indeed maxing out on LF (near

Either reducing the low EQ or shifting the passband up alleviates this.
