<DIV>Yes, this is normal to see the increase in noise floor. You can manipulate
this in</DIV>
<DIV>a couple of ways: If your your 2M transverter has an internal RCV IF gain
adjust,</DIV>
<DIV>you can lower the noise floor to some degree with it, but depending on
which version</DIV>
<DIV>of PowerSDR you are using, if you set up your transverter using XVTRs you
can </DIV>
<DIV>lower the noise floor by using the RX Gain (db) adjustment.</DIV>
