That's why I won't buy a DSP based radio. Performance is poor 
enough using conventional filters because the filter follows too 
many mixers and semiconductors.

Not only that, have a listen to keyclicks and other trash from newer 
radios.
  
The last thing I want is a receiver that moves selectivity even further 
back in the system running at frequencies my dog can hear so 
marketing departments can say it is "true IF DSP".

It appears we have been brain-washed by the marketing 
departments into ignoring performance!
