This receiver is becoming available now in our region (the Netherlands).
I wonder it is worth to operate the radio via USB PC interface instead of using the head on the receiver. Is it convenient to use the pc as controller and is the software ok, is the software mature ?
Is it posible to scan 2 stations on one antenne or does one need both antenne inputs ?
What is your experience with the quality of the receiver in general. I want just use it for airband 108-138MHz and for a virtual radar application in the 1090 MHz frequency region.
Is the receiver sensitive for strong transmissions of other radio's on other frequencies. There is a mass of GSM mobile fixed station antennes on about 500 meter / 1500 ft distance. So cross modulation ?
Does an optional DSP provide for discriminator audio output of better quality ?
I do not expect a review of the IC R-2500/PCR-2500, however some practical feedback on questions is valuable, because I do just depend on specifications on paper.
