Glad you started posting sir, good to have your knowledge over here. I have found it a very nice community.
Guess you have noticed that Trip guy wandering around here also.

Pre-amp Signal Overload calculator

Spurious Free Dynamic Range spreadsheet
Yes I have used those calculators. holl_ands had done some nice work on this subject. According to his calculators my cm7777 should be in overload, but yet my weakest station pins the meter (163 KW at 37 miles at 300meters on Ch28 to my U-75R at 23 ft and it's LOS), but it's not that weak of a signal. Anyway my point is my CM7777 seems to be dealing with it, leading me to believe they are a little more tolerant than holl_ands calculations predict. And of course mileage varies when it comes to RF, I know that well.
