At the very least it gives food for thought.

There are some helpful hints here, though I'm puzzled by the gripe this
fellow has with synchronous detection. I personally wouldn't spend a
lot of dough on any receiver that lacked it. I think a lot of people
are sour on synchronous detection because they've bought and/or used a
receiver that had a very poor implementation of it. When sync detection
is done right, as it is on Drake's R8B, then it will sometimes do more
to aid reception than all of these hints put together. But the good
news is that we don't have to choose between synchronous detection and
this fellow's helpful hints. We can have all of these tools at our
disposal.
