 Two choices of two letters:
 
 IF
 
 or
 
 AF
 
 Or ... don't we really want to cut out as much of the garbage
 as early as possible at the antenna, then the tuner, then the
 front end, then the IF and as a last resort at the AF level?
 
 Just a question ... 73, DavidC  K1YP

  You summed it up perfectly.  I went to great detail telling how to correct 
the problem on TT without an outline first.  The modern receiver is trying to 
clean up signals starting at the IF stage first.  Antenna selectivity is a 
good place to start.  That's one reason why I like a beam with great F/B.
