[Lowfer] mid-day EAR

[Michael Sapp]

JB & All:  Mid day EAR capture with RAY-6 mixer and +17dBM LO drive. +20 would be preferred, but +17 all I have for now....

I was running the RAY-6 with a 3dB pad on the LO port past few nites. My old Boonton CA91 measured 2050uV (approx -41 dBm) on the IF port

for LO feedwith the 3 dB pad in line on the LO port.  That works out to 55 dB LO to RF port isolation, in line with the data sheet info. After rechecking

it seemed safe for my IF receiver to run 3dB hotter on the LO power so the 3 dB pad has been removed from the LO port.
