There are drawbacks though - you need a decent PC/laptop plus a
massive 500Gb hardisk as the recordings are huge.


The biggest drawback, I think, is its use of a 14-bit A/D, which will
severely limit dynamic range. As a point of reference, 1st gen DSP
receivers, such as the WJ HF-1000 and TenTec RX-340 use 16-bit A/D
converters. The JRC NRD-545 uses an 18-bit A/D and the latest DSP
receivers, such as the Icom IC-756Pro-III use a 24-bit A/D.
