Mitch, Dex & All:  Just as a test I tried to capture at 137.780 range with 30 and 40 dB of input attenuation in front of my converter preamp.

XKO is just detectable at times with 30dB input attenuation (plus my Northernly pointed antenna F/B) with 40/40 visual settings. I upped the

visual settings to 50/50 and RF input attenuation up to 40dB and MP was still detectable, but likely not enough signal level remaining on MP to be observable at 50 dB of input attenuation.

Mitch will just have to up the RF power output (hi)

Where XKO is visible in this capture the input attenuation was set back to 20dB as a level check....
