[Premium-Rx] R&S ESVP/ESH3?

[Raymond Boute]

Dear All,

I have also been interested in the ESH3 until I 
saw in the spec that the frequency resolution is 
100 Hz.  This is a bit coarse for ham purposes 
since not all SSB transmissions are on exact 
multiples of 100 Hz.  If I am mistaken, please 
correct this information (which might revive my interest in the ESH3).
