Re: Topband: Rotator creating spur on 1820

Jerry, et. al., I didn't have the problems from my own installation, but I used to live about 1/2 mile from an AM 930 station and there would be a 2nd harmonic spur at 1860 and a mixer spur of 2 x 1400 - 930 = 1870 KHz. W0CD helped me find & build hi-pass filters in old ARRL Handbooks for my RX
