Not true - that the cause of wrong-frequency RBN spots can be attributed 
to I/Q gain/phase unbalance of QSD SDRs.

There are a number of mechanisms involved, depending on the SDR used.  
Parroting that it is all due to just one mechanism & only with one 
particular receiver architecture will not change this.

QS1R is unique in that it is not QSD, yet it has the problem of spurious 
responses that look like the one mechanism that keeps getting blamed - a 
mechanism that shouldn't be seen with that particular receiver's 
architecture.

And don't forget, we have already been told that wrong-freq RBN spots 
are all due to fecal signals.

Everything is what you are told it is & what you are allowed to say 
yourself is decided for you!
