    My mouth is agape. No! That's why I called it a thought experiment.

    But I do have a relatively powerful broadcast signal coming into my antenna port. It's the same situation except that the broadcast signal is not powerful enough to cause an explosion, but it is powerful enough to cause ADC overload.

    I should point out that the FLEX-6600 is >50dB on the contest bands (80,40,20,15,10) and >25dB on all other ham bands where you wouldn't be likely to have a strong transmitter adjacent while you are operating.

    Thanks for the great details. My concern is that crystal filters used in if fail. For some reasons they last-about two years. Flex does not have these. Thanks for that
