Loaded and powered up the SDR-IQ for the first time last night (it arrived safely), but LF conditions were poor with Budapest at some 30dB down from even average conditions and DCF39 just viz at dot 60. When I compare Argo's using the R75 on AC and the SDR I definately have less visual QRM on the SDR from what must be common mode noize from somewhere, and that is with extensive mitigation - so first impressions are good in that score - no images/phantoms unless you select a high Noise blanking setting, and thats only aurally. Now to read the manual.... Laurence KL1 X in BY 4 \Sunny Shanghai _________________________________________________________________ Need a break?
