Front end overload.

It's like trying to see a candle next to a spotlight shining in your face.

Even though they are different freqs? I'm transmitting on 146.400,
but listening on 147.00 (-600k offset). Is there anything I could do
to treat the symptom aside from keeping the antennas of the two units
far apart from each other? I wish I had a spectrum analyzer. I'd
love to see definitively what is happening to the spectrum when I
transmit. Maybe there is a way I can turn my old oscilloscope into a
spectrum analyzer. hmmmmmmm...
