these are two separate effects: =

Hi=20 Joe, Markus,

 

Markus=20 you=C2=B4re right, I observed the spectrum during Joe=C2=B4s fuzzy=20 phase

  

DCF39=20 was splattering over the whole band with extreemly=20 fieldstrength.

When=20 I was playing with the sdr-Iq i found, switching off the RF/NB helps a = little=20 and switching on the IF/NR fixed the problem.

 

Joe,=20 nice copy again, not so strong as the night b4.

 

73=20 Joe
