The original subreceiver definitely has issues on 160M, even when
listening strictly with Beverages. The cardinal symptom is "phantom"
signals, offset at multiples of 2.5Khz from the actual strong (s9+)
signal.
The 160M signal levels delivered by my 580ft Beverages (using
efficient homebrew matching xfmrs) rival the levels delivered by my tx
vertical.
