Josh,
About your AM broadcast interference -- what are you using for an antenna?
For my early testing of my uBitX I used a random-wire antenna and had lots of BCI, but when I disconnected my resonant dipole from my main rig and connected it to the uBitX for further testing all the BCI disappeared. It seems that using an antenna resonant in the ham bands (and not in the BC band) can help a lot.
