Hello Mike,

Thanks  for  the  reply, it actually has 2 (in series) N1BUG band pass
filters in front of it! I have always had this "noise hump" around the
band, I once thought the filter (one...) had cured it, but next time I
looked  it  was  back.   MF  is  lovely and quiet in comparison. i see
exactly the same with a Softrock with or without a BPF.
