Where I live there are several amateurs with a mile and we are all members of the same club. During club contests we all suffer splatter, my question is to do with what level of splatter is reasonable to expect from a station a mile away line of sight running 100W on 6m.
I can do the path loss calculations easily enough - what I am trying to understand is the maximum level that a clean SSB signal say 10kHz or more away can be before receiver generated IMDs become more of a problem than the ones from the transmitter. I.e. the power input in dBm on 6m on the K3 that will cause a noticeable increase in the IMDs - not the 3rd order ones, but the 5th, 7th 9th 11th etc. For example, if the transmitter 5th order is x dB down, what signal level will the receiver cope with until the receiver generated IMDs increases x by 3 dB. For example I seem to suffer more splatter on my K6 than the other station does from me on their IC756/FT726/IC706 (depending who it is). That could be their IMDs or it could be my K3 receiver being overloaded. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Help-on-understanding-receiver-performance-tp2231587p2231587.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
