... and looks like a couple other locals at 1010 and 1060.

Where is a selectivity spec or a description??

Tom,

Apart from the N2PK analyzer, I don't know any published selectivity
spec. The detector minimum res. bandwidth of the N2PK unit is 7 Hz and
produces +4dBm into 50 ohms.

FWIW, RigExpert put together a comparison of analyzers based on
measurement topology.  For sure, it's a biased piece -- especially when
the MFJ product is discussed.  So, keep that in mind.

The plot below shows how well the N2PK analyzer can selectivly ignore a
large multi-volt base voltage from three nearby AMBC stations located 2
miles to the south.  Two of the AM stations are Non-D in the daytime.
One is 15KW, the other is 5KW.  Note that the T is resonated to 1420
kHz, right where the stations transmit (look for 1320, 1460, and 1530
kHz).  The attached plot shows total RF immunity on the X trace.  On the
R trace, small "blips" do show - each representing the local AMBC
stations.  However, even these can be easily ime-averaged away in the
software.
