For many years dynamic range and other receiver performance figures (see 
Sherwood) and digital “features” like NB, NR, APF, Notch etc got a lot of 
attention (which was good).

The transition from hardware to software opened a new world of possibilities.

But ….

Today, most of us are battling near-field man made noise instead of receiver 
overload.

Reality tells us that this noise is not going to reduce the next decade or so.

Receivers will outperform competitors if they enable noise reduction and 
improve S/N ratio.

This will be a combi of hardware (antenna’s and receivers) and smart software 
solutions (algorithms etc.)

 

Just wondering if during the K4 design this “chance” was considered and if so, 
how this was implemented ?
