[hpsdr] PCR100 made it.

At top notch receiver it's not(not even a moderate notch), and that 
is why I refer to it as a toy, I can hear what I surmise as spurs at 
different spots. Given that, I can pickup AM/FM,  weather, local 
services and airport frequencies fairly well so it serves it's purpose.

As I sit here at my desk reading, I have it in the background playing 
classical music with the volume set low. It works better than the 
FM/AM radio/alarm in terms of clarity and being able to pick up far 
away stations, on FM I have to turn on the 20 dB attenuator to 
prevent overload on local FM stations.
