[R-390] re Softrock

[Tom Frobase]

It is limited by the IF filter, I have been running it in the 16KHz position.  There were times when I could individually select any one of 3 SSB signals in the bandpass as well as numerous CW signals.  So I have been tuning close and using the software for the band spread.

I think the non "A" may even be a better candidate since the hard filters are in the software, if you have a decent PC in the shack $21.00 isn't a big investment ... tom, N3LLL
