If, on the other hand, you connect directly to an antenna then you are susceptible to ADC overloading from out-of-band strong signals that may be present at your location anywhere in the 0-60 MHz range, regardless of where you have the Hermes tuned, that’s all. It’ll work fine but keep in mind that your Hermes ADC is converting signals for everything in the 0-60 MHz range at your location and strong out-of-band signals will affect you much more so than if you had filtering ahead of the Hermes. </div><div><br></div><div>73, Joe K5SO</div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 21, 2014, at 10:26 AM, Tony Hagen wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">***** High Performance Software Defined Radio Discussion List *****<br><br>
