Hi Gerald, It is working as it should. Late at night (1AM) it is common for me to get 50-55 db reduction in spurious responses. But it is a function of the RX being truly overloaded and how low the true ambient noise is. In your case there simply isn't a lot of signal at the receiver and the BC

You certainly have a valid point there, Sergey. I guess "we" simply have to design a suitable piece of compatible hardware as an alternative for the soon-to-be-discontinued 1 Watt unit. By compatible I mean that it'll work with PowerSDR, however at the same time we could perhaps "streamline" the
