[Milsurplus] Radiating receivers

[wf2u at ws19ops.com]

The main problem with receiver LO radiation is that multiple receivers  
(which is the case in the Navy on anything larger than a bathtub) will  
interfere with each other, with the close proximity of multiple  
antennas as well. Also, in Sigint and Comint setups, the LO radiation  
of a co-located receiver could be misconstrued as an enemy signal or  
can mask the signal of interest.
