Sure, I read that, no need to get aggressive. Hell I started this thread, I have every motivation to read the posts. But what does that mean to me? I know what white noise is, but how exactly does image rejection affect me? Sorry that I'm not an RF engineer. I tried to do some reading about image rejection, and understand what it "does" (passes only the secondary frequency that we want to create the heterodyning, since another frequency a similar distance away from the primary will also create the heterodyne on that frequency, to put it in a very non technical manner). Thats all quite plain to see, I have a pretty fair understanding of undergraduate level physics. But I don't quite grasp what that means in RF design, as an end result of going through all the rest of the radio's circuitry, coming out of the speaker. Surely it must have some noticeable effect on the receive, since its got a supposed solution (this mod). I understand its not the noise that it affects, but perhaps something else, like tone?

Thanks for taking the time to explain,
Trevor

[QUOTE="buickid, post: 445911, member: 28444"] Sure, I read that, no need to get aggressive. Hell I started this thread, I have every motivation to read the posts. But what does that mean to me?
