>VLF/LF sensitivity is more than adequate    Yes, I read all your comparison tests a few months back on SDR vs analog with interest.I have been keeping an eye on the Genesis G11 SDR kit, but that is down the road aways....http://www.genesisradio.com.au/Aside from the whole SDR thing, the FPGA technology is quite impressive....I'm hearing some NDBs I have not heard B4 above 400 kHz this evening, so I may have at least partially resolvedthe upper frequency roll off issue I had in the HD-1420.
