Hello Stefan,

I would also very interested to see noise performance of the Pitaya board, I’m not convinced that this is a receiver intended for crowded bands. Whilst there may be some rudimentary comparison made between the receivers, that hasn’t been suitable in depth measurement (not that I’ve seen anyway)

Personally I don’t see it as being a suitable replacement for QS1r or Perseus etc
