The subreceiver has a 1st i.f. of 45Mhz and a 2nd i.f. of 450Khz and lacks the provision for a narrow roofing filter.  It was never intended to be a competition grade receiver.  I wish there was an extra cost option to upgrade it to main rx performance, but I'm not sure if many others feel the same way.
