John,
Interesting thought. It could be duplicated with a signal generator to see where the sound card / QSD falls apart. I never tested anything further out than about 20 KHz.

Another thought - doesn't that softrock downcovert to a 10 KC IF or something?  If you're trying to beat 30 KC worth of stuff thru it, the images on the low end will screw it up I'll bet

True,
With a 10 KHz baseband you have about 2 X 9 1/2 KHz of usable bandwidth until you run into zero.  All these problems go away with Mercury, Perseus and QSR1. How quickly I forgot.
Without I/Q you will see images.
