Good thought on the IF. I just checked it out - the IF is at 455kHz
but the switcher I'm using operates at 1.1MHz so I should be ok there.

I guess I might have problems with the 36th harmonic of the 1.1MHz
switcher coming in at around 36.3MHz. I bet the switcher drifts a lot
too so it might be hard to pin down. I might borrow a suitable
handheld receiver and scan around the band as Richard suggested.

Cheers,
Zik
