Adam Nielsen a.nielsen at shikadi.net> How useful is such a "wide bandwidth" for users ? It depends what you are trying to examine. If you want to look at TV signals you need 8MHz, if you want to look at 802.11n you need 40-80MHz, 160MHz for 802.11ac, etc. Many people are interested in implementing these protocols entirely in software for many reasons, many revolving around security. > How many of them really need such a wide bandwidth ? The wider the better, simply for flexibility. The wider the bandwidth the less the need for frequency hopping if you can receive all relevant frequencies at once. This is why there are relatively frequent questions about combining multiple devices to extend the available bandwidth. It looks like the HackRF's external clock input will make it one of the first low cost devices that can do this. > Up to now it always looked like users were mostly interested in > single channels.

The Realtek 2832 dongles are the first to make it practical to listen to multiple channels, but a lot of SDR software still needs to catch up. > My device is an ADLINK digitizer PCIe-9842: That is very interesting! I will leave others to comment on the viability of devices like this for SDR purposes. Cheers, Adam.
