The only thing I remember about the receiver measurements on 
the 850 in QST was that, with the AIP turned on, the ARRL 
had to apply so much RF to the antenna terminals to make it 
overload, that they were afraid to proceed, for fear of 
burning out the front end. Now that's pretty good receiver 
performance!
