<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You should have no problem with your 160m delta
loop connected directly to Mercury. On bands below 17m you will not need the
preamp on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Depending on the strength of your local MW stations
you may need to add additional attenuation before Mercury or a MW High Pass
Filter. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Give it a try and see what happens. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We will shortly have a new version of the Mercury
FPGA code that enables an ADC Overload 'LED' on PowerSDR.</FONT></DIV>

<P></P> Yesterday I've get my Mercury! YEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! :-)<BR>Custom
robbed me for almost 25% of Mercury cost :-( <BR><BR>O.K. , but now about
business :-)<BR>Is it dangerous for Mercury if I connect it directly to 160M
Delta Loop? Without any filters or better build up any simple preselector. I
can't remember any chat about preselector. Other problem is - QRM level
on 160M is 59, sometimes +20 :-( On 80M it's a bit better. <BR><BR>
73!
