Image frequency math on Tecsun PL-880
#3
Many thanks Doug for your quick and informed details.  I'll certainly experiment with the voltage divider and the tuned LC.  Thanks also for the clue on how the 3 stage IF would work... perhaps that's a clue as to why the MW band image (or sprus?) spreads are 1/3 the original.  It makes sense the 3rd stage  45kHz stage would be on chip.. the data sheet for the Si4735chip talks about its 'low IF' stage.  The 6WF/6RN Tx is 50kW and 12km away.  Further attenuating the antenna on specific frequencies will be a good experiment.  Anyway.. plenty of good math and electrical avenues to investigate thanks Doug.
cheers Craig
