Except for spectrum archiving, don’t see the real world use of a 25 MHz bandwidth.
You’ve got multiple ”virtual” receivers anyways, and it’s a direct sampling DDC SDR - you can capture multiple frequency spans as is, on a DUOr.

An increased dynamic range would’ve been more useful.
If bandwidth of the data transfer was the priority, they could’ve implemented a gigabit ethernet protocol a la HPSDR.

Expensive spec sheet gimmick.

I had forgotten about the S3 from Elad. It's been in the works for 3 years. I still think my Perseus will kick it's ass on HF. I have the S2, and it's a good SDR, but not the equal to the Perseus. It's amazing what the Perseus can do, especially if you are a MW junkie like me. I love it. Best radio I have ever owned for the MW band.

I agree with hth999, I also have the S2, but nothing beats my Perseus, which have had since 2011, for MW, LW, and HF.
