If i must ....

Tom never mentioned what type of SDR would be wiped out by moderate signals ... 

That in its self has three problems ... 

NO filtering? (should this be called -- comparing apples to apples, not apples 
to turds)
poor ADC (real cheap soundcard 8bit)?
insanely bad phase error in the nearby transmitter OR the wonderfull SDR that 
he built.

Nearly the entire email was lamented as a setup for a flame war by simply 
omitting details ... that is not the actions of a good engineering radio 
operator ... hence ... SPAM. -- it was a showing off the effort put into the 
SDR i guess.

And i worry about you Bill .... the word "SPAM" being an expletive in your 
vocabulary ... 

I think of many responses on here to ADC overload as this -- 

When dealing with a computer .. the quality of work/info put into it will have 
the same ratio that you will get out of it -- qubed.

how many samples per second are true overload .... and i mean overload -- not 
phase error -- if you don't know the difference you really shouldn't put forth 
an opinion as truth.

That video that was posted in this discussion(awhile ago) did point out the 
difference quite well and understandable by almost anyone .. check it out, if 
not again.

Not sure if i should really send this .. but, what the hell.
