Welcome to the dark side, indeed. Those of us who live in the "middle" and especially those of us who live in suburban neighborhoods would never see the ever-so slight sensitivity advantage of an AOR 7030+. The AOR 7030+ and the Drake R8B have another intangible in their favor, they just sound

I think a fundamental stat for SDR is the ADC converter. Perseus is 14 bit. QS1R and the new ELAD are 16 bit which provides more dynamic range. My very basic research into ADC chips looks like they are improving, but not that fast. Otherwise we'd be seeing radios based on 18 bit chips with 140
