I have had just a few hours with Mercury now (barebones card, no input  
filters) with various antennas.  I am amazed at its capabilities.  On  
160m it blows the socks off my SDR1000....... don't even need to  
switch on the bci filter.

Mercury is a keeper!

Need to interface that 100w amp I have been saving, to get this rig on  
the air.
