I have accidentially made all sorts of mismatching the output from my OPA2674 and never have blown it. Running audio with Ozy/Janus and more than 1W rf-output. Maybe the reason is that you have overdriven the audio input. Gerd, DJ8AY -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I believe that it has been pointed out that those people who are interested in multiband image compensation for the SDR1K do not expect an automated procedure but would do it manually. A signal for every band should be available for most of us. 73, Gerd DJ8AY -Original Message- From:
