[sci.electronics] ICF 2003 question

dsp@oakhill.UUCP (Generic DSP account) (04/20/88)

 I just bought one of those Sony ICF 2003 pll synthesized S/W receivers.
 On strong SSB signals the thing seems to have an FM'ing problem.  If
 I collapse the antenna or set the sensitivty to low, the problem is
 reduced.  Has anyone out there experienced such a problem??

 Thanks in advance.

One night we hooked up a Sony 2003 to the 160 meter array at N5AU so
we could listen to the Larry King Show.  The Sony underwent a pretty
severe case of front end crunch.  Of course, the fact that we were
only miles from KRLD-AM probably didn't help much either.
