WFM + HF

[Se7en]

Why am i hearing 3-5 stations at once through 20m-17m on WFM? i also hear it up in the 200mhz-400mhz... only on WFM.

p.s its music and talk radios. not picking it up on AM or FM or even SSB.

I'm serious about the post.
Meds ? Of course who wouldn't take candy coated meds ?!!!

What radio?
Do you have a commercial AM or FM station close to you?
Poor front end receiver design?

You ever been driving along in your car and have the same thing happen with your car's stereo? same thing with those stations signals over running just on a longer distance due to atmospheric conditions.

Ic-7000 was looking for conditions.
Never had it happen in my mobile stereo.

That's just odd. It's like the front end over load I used to have on an old Radio Shack receiver I used to have.

Have you posted this to the Yahoo IC-7000 group? There may be some answers there for you.

I thought that the Wide FM mode could only be enabled on the 76-108 MHz band.

In any event the cause is strong front end overload from commercial FM or television broadcast stations,most likely FM stations.That WFM mode opens up the frontend to about 150-200 KHz wide rather than the normal 3-5 KHz for SSB and AM or 15 KHz for normal FM. that lets LOTS of crap in and messes with the frontend. WFM also uses a different second IF frequency as well that may be part of the problem
