[Elecraft] Analog vs. Digital Front Ends

[Jerry Moore]

Is it possible your rig has AGC that's keeping strong signals down rather
than the rejection/selection capabilities of your receiver? Just asking.. I
don't know the answer.

Sorry, I'm not buying that direct sampling front ends are as prone to
overload as many of the posts are suggesting, especially on 20M and higher.
During the past 3 years, I've worked one CQWW and one ARRLDX contest from
the Northeast with a SteppIR yagi feeding an ANAN-100D with 0dB attenuation
and never experienced overload during the weekends.  FWIW, there's a clear
indicator on the PowerSDR screen if ADC overload should ever occur.

The superior rx audio clarity of the direct sampling front end radio is a
game changer to me, although I'm not a fan of computer GUI's.  So I'm
looking forward to widespread use of direct sampling front ends by
all-in-one-box hf xcvrs.
