[hpsdr] 14-bit Red Pitaya - as a working HF transceiver?

[dan edwards]

it's pretty decent, imho.  mine works reasonably well on 160m...i bought mine to compare noise mitigation between my flex 6500, and hpsdr...it's still a back burner project here, but intend to build it out fully, later; it does drive the old final out of my ft107 to full output easily, on 160m.
it's probably the best deal on the planet to get 2 coherent receivers, with adjustable gain and phase...
N2PK has made a complete transceiver out of his; you might contact him also.

Not much in the archives on this one. How does the 14-bit version of the board hold up as a general-purpose HF/VHF transceiver?
I'm looking for an informed, but subjective opinion. Is the RX "good enough" ?  I know it has a 14-bit ADC, but I don't know how well it actually performs as a receiver.  I did see a comment saying the PowerSDR-compatible firmware quashed some nasty TX spurs.
So to summarize:  Given that I have Angelia and Orion boards, would I be horribly disappointed in the performance as another working rig? Also, I didn't see much on the website about the 10W HF amp. Is that 10W 100% duty cycle, and has anyone looked at the (no predistortion) IMD?
I recently resurrected and ported a relatively old SDR back-end I did for ADI SHARC years ago, and was thinking it might make an interesting project.
Thanks,Jim N7CXI
