These are the questions regarding the Mercury receiver board which qualify as 'frequent'.

ADC Overload

The ADC overload alert displayed in PowerSDR and KISS Konsole are to alert the user to possible "spurious signals in the bandscope".[1] They are not a warning of any danger to the receiver or the ADC - which are well protected. "The primary protection is the the clamp diode at the input connector, which hard clamps at 5 volts peak to peak".[2]
