Fred missed that this isn't a repeater. But thanks for the reminder Fred. I agree with you on not using mobiles most of the time. For everyone else... I'm sitting here slapping my forehead and saying, "Duh". I was (for some unknown reason) trying to do external mix math on the numbers instead of simply subtracting the IF and then dividing... what a marrrrooooon. Thanks for the (rather obvious now that I see it) help, all. Guess I'll try two things... put the crystals in a station and perhaps with a little better shielding I can lower the effect for now of the mix in the house... short-term, and then order up the high-side injection crystals for the rig and retune when they arrive...
