Year.

That would be the image of the 2nd IF = 450 kHz.  TT's clever phrase
is "specifications apply > 1.8 MHz".  I.e., all bets are off below
1.8.  The Rx is insensitive, and as you see, image rejection is poor
-- maybe other problems, too.

I use the SubRx to listen to AM broadcast at times.  Longwave is kinda
useless.  Why did they enable it at all, you ask?  Good question.
Competitive pressure, I suppose.

73 & Happy New Year, Martin
