I have a follow up if that's okay to add to the original question: On an IC-7300 there is a feature called "IP+" that is designed to reduce those distortions. Since this radio is a direct-sampling SDR. And it has a specific feature to reduce IMD. Would there still be much of a benefit to lowering the RF Gain with this radio? Perhaps I should make this a separate question. | |
