Image response, harmonic of the
IF, direct IF response, harmonics of the oscillator, combination of the IF, heterodyne
oscillator radiation, cross modulation within the receiver, cross modulation external
to the receiver, same channel beat, adjacent channel beat and "monkey chatter" are
all sources of radio interference addressed in this article that appeared in a 1946
edition of Radio News. I don't know about you, but I've never heard of
the term 'monkey chatter.' According to the troubleshooting table it is, "Unintelligible
modulation superimposed upon desired station, having the character of 'inverted
speech'." Recommendations on how to mitigate "monkey speech" are provided.
