Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

Thanks. JAB

Avoid taking a level any further down the IF chain, as the presumably FM receiver will have a nonlinear limiter.
Set the generator frequency to 21.4 MHz above or below the 98MHz channel, eg 76.6MHz and increase the level of the generator until it reaches the previous level. Note the attenuator level setting difference. This is the Image Rejection ratio in dB
Set the generator to 10.7MHz and repeat the measurement. The attenuator difference is the IF rejection.

Thanks again. JAB
