....and certainly the new rev of software for the SDR IQ 2.31 is a big improvement - I love the NCo carrier null which was my biggest issue beyond IM/XM. Now if they can only automate the carrier null into software so I dont have to push the button and improve the temp freq compensation it would make me really broadly smile, and turn off the AGC on SSB....
....the R75 still is the winner but its getting closer when you consider the pros and cons of being frogmarched and interrogated by N unnamed agencies (again) at some unnamed international airport, versus carrying a small pc board wiv an USB port and a BNC plug on it..
Its a long story.
