I tried that with the FRG-7700 before going directly into the IF. Got
noticably better sig:noise without the RF amp / mixer and misc noise
of using the entire receiver.

On the bright side of using the complete receiver, you can tune back
and forth across the IF for PBT.

You have to attenuate the IF signal when doing that or it will
overload the receiver and you get all the noise you mentioned.

I've got an NE602 based SSB detector up on my website. Works well.
