The phase noise/frequency wander was with the AM/SW broadcast version


As those of us who have used the USB dongles that were mentioned in QST will

tell you, the SSB phase noise is not nearly the issue that folks make it out
to be.

The *biggest* problem with anything Silicon Labs is finding someone to sell
you any.  Silicon Labs (and my former employer Conexant, now Entropic) just
do not want to talk to you unless you are going to buy a few hundred
thousand ICs.

As with the USB dongles, if you can find another radio that uses the chip,
you might be able to experiment with them.  If you haven't checked out the
USB dongles yet, it is well worth the time.  You can't beat a receiver that
costs $17.
