         True but BDR is ~100 dB for the SDR-1000 versus
~130 for other rigs (ARRL measurements).  BDR seems to be
the weak point of SDR so far.  Perhaps 32-bit sound cards
will eventually solve this issue but current 24-bit sound
cards all seem to share this weakness.

                                 73,  Bill  W4ZV
