Showing some of the minor peculiarities of DS SDRs

Hi Clemens, you seem to impute that there are no shortcommings in direct
sampling!
 :-))    I suspect there are, but they are just "different".  You may be
right about the units mentioned, but it is just as easy to make a poorly
preforming DSP radio as to make a poor analogue one. We are in danger of
being conditioned to accept that "digital" is the magic dust that solves all
problems......it is definitely not so!

Having said that, the performance of some units is quite remarkable and I do
own a couple very good conventional receivers.
