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. |

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 Andy 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. -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry Stuckle ================== |
