Mike? Where you at man? I redid my preselector and I got zero intermod or heterodyne. Zero on both. The '3904 is still in the front end. In fact I'm sitting here listening to some guys and one said he was in California, I'm in Atlanta and the radio is right next to my laptop with the PS plugged in. After I got the preselector right, I buzzed the coating off one of the cat food cans and clamped it down tight with some hot glue. Seems to have got rid of allot of computer noise.
I need to put a PL259 connector on it for when I sling up my inverted V antenna and feed that whole thing through coax. Right now I'm sure I'm getting some noise through the antenna. I've only got about 3 inches of some RG-174U cable coming out of the preselector can. After that it's just a raw long wire antenna, about 10 feet.
