[TenTec] IC-7800 Expanded Test Report

[Marijan Miletic, S56A]

W4ZV> With IF's above 30 MHz, we got General Coverage receivers at the
expense of very poor close-spaced IMD and BDR performance.

The unique DSP contribution to HF RX is smart auto-notch and noise
reduction, the rest is marketing!

IF above 15 MHz removes superhet images from HF working range!  Collins IF
goes even above 3 x 30 MHz.  W0IYH in QEX nicely explains cost/performance
trade-offs with narrow front-end crystal filters.  I am surprised that
purists are not buying more 200 $ crystal filters at the antenna input!?
