Will Hermes too be limited to 192 kHz max downsampled frequency, or 
there will be a provision for a more ample chunk of the spectrum
available to the PC software ? This is one of the parameters that SWLs 
use to judge if a given SDR is suited to their tasks.
What they like to do is to digitize the entire MW spectrum (1600 kHz), 
making a WAV recording of it, to then replay it leisurely.
Presently only Perseus and the QS1r are capable of this.
