Hi Kire,

i just discovered your post on reddit  
http://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/u4pjc/measurements_of_e4000_filter_responses/

Thanks a lot for sharing your findings with the community. I'm looking  
forward to see the NF and IMD measurements :).

Also i think the octave code has definitely educational value for me  
personally and likely for everyone else as well.

Dimitri
