Post mixer I would agree with you, but I have seen gain control on the RF stage to get good IM performance. I seem to recall some early FM IF chips had a signal strength output to do this. If there is no AGC at all that may even exacerbate the problem if he is feeding a very strong signal into the receiver. The IM resultant may be producing a similar problem. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
