Has anybody yet played with one of these, for it seems to
offer quite a lot for a (relatively) small outlay?

The only 8 bits in the ADC / DAC seems a little limiting?

When at first you don't want to transmit, and when you don't need
the coverage to 6 GHz, it is cheaper to experiment using the RTL SDR stick.

Bit is a contraction of BInary digiT, or Binary digIT.

And then taking a big BITE of them, 8 bits at a time, except
that it is spelt BYTE to reduce confusion.

Although in the olden days (1965 onwards) in the PDP5 and PDP8
a byte was only 6 bits.

the terms nibble/nybble and munch seem to have fallen into disuse, I
guess they pushed the joke too far

It's still used in some assembler coding, where a byte contains two
decimal digits (0x00 to 0x99). Each digit is contained in a nibble.
But outside of that, I agree - I haven't seen it used any more, either.
