==ADC Overload==

The ADC overload alert displayed in [[PowerSDR]] and [[KISS Konsole]] are to alert the user to possible "spurious signals in the bandscope".<ref>http://lists.openhpsdr.org/pipermail/hpsdr-openhpsdr.org/2009-August/010396.html</ref> 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".<ref>http://lists.openhpsdr.org/pipermail/hpsdr-openhpsdr.org/2009-August/010406.html</ref>
