The .01 is knocked off for some co-channel interference (cross-talk) that I am getting on the Virginia State Police base frequency 159.000 (F-1) from their transmitter on 158.985 (F-2). Setting the attenuator on eliminated the problem but I suspect that it doesn't have a real tight front end. All of this was using a telescopic whip and I'm about 9 miles from the transmitter antenna. I will say that normally I get a lot of intermod-type products on the 159.000 frequency from a nearby paging transmitter but that has not appeared with the 780. So far, so good... BTW, I ordered mine from Dmart on Christmas day (via their secure web site) and it arrived today. Well done, Dmart!
