Hello Minto,

In laboratory tests it is possible to tweak the bias of the J310 for a very high IP2 of +80 dBm and a IP3 of +33 dBm.
However this does not hold in off air tests.

I use the medium wave stations at Orford Ness, UK as off air signal generators. The station at 648 kHz is on 24/7, but the one at 1296 kHz only in part of the morning and between 16:00 and 17:00 UTC.

I found IP3's ranging from about + 15dBm to + 20 dBm depending on supply voltage.

Maybe you can use these stations as well for test purposes.
At my location they produce each -20 dBm at the output of a mini-whip mounted 5 metre up.

Except for the directive properties of a loop, both loops and whips can deliver stellar performance on reception. It depends on the local noise situation which type of antenna gives best results.

Roelof, pa0rdt
