[CQ-Contest] SDR Mythbusters - ADC Overload myths debunked...

[Marijan Miletic]

http://www.ab4oj.com/test/main.html#NPR gives unbiased account of the
behaviour of 16-bit ADC under strong signals!  There is only one input to
ADC IC and even a single strong signal close to overflow threshold causes
significant degradation of performance.  SDR DDC is the best HF radio in the
rest of all cases which are statistically important.  And it should be much
cheaper than analog solutions packed with crystal filters.  KX3 is good
example, IC-7300 is coming!
