Hi Gary, you are probably getting a big signal from around the natural
resonance of the loop. There are quite a lot of strong FSK signals in the
region around 400 to 600kHz you may be seeing a Navtext signal from 518
intermoding. Measure the strength of the RTTY and then put an attenuator in
front of the RX (say 6dB) if the FSK goes down more than 6dB it is intermod.
It will go down 12 dB for 2nd order and 18dB for 3rd order. That might be
enough to make it disappear completely. Tuning should also remove it of
course.

Cheers de Alan G3NYK
