Tony,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yes, certainly. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But of course you won’t have any HPF or LPF filtering for the input in that
case. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you’re using the stand alone Hermes as an IF for a converter that has
some image filtering ahead of it it works fine like that. 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> </DIV>
<DIV>73, Joe K5SO</DIV>
