I hope that I will be able to leave a trace one day.

Hello Markus! Welcome!
You are right, the grabber uses a direct conversion receiver with a tuning frequency of 136968.3 Hz (20 MHz / 146).
As expected, due to the doubled reception bandwidth of a simple direct conversion receiver, the FST4W reports are degraded by 3 dB ((
Perhaps in the future the receiver will be replaced by SSB superheterodyne.

Thank you Alex for the explanation! You might consider adding a second mixer for the quadrature signal (e.g. a Tayloe switching mixer). The 90° phase shift for the LO can be derived digitally in the last divider stage. SpecLab can process IQ input directly, so you don't have  to make an analog audio phase-network, but you will need a soundcard with stereo input.

Почему не 20/160?

Tonight, both DL0AO and DF6NM received two FW15-traces, starting 20:00 and 20:30,  obviously from RA6A. Strangely, the decoder displayed the correct locator, power etc, but istead of the callsign only "00" (zero zero):

250612 2000 0 -38 0.4 0.137542 00 KN96 20 0 15
250612 2030 0 -27 -0.1 0.137542 00 KN96 20 0 15

WSPRnet did not report these two spots.
