Upgrading Kerberos SDR to Kraken SDR

Hello,

Could you please provide some information about the compared performance of Kraken and Kerberos, if available?

If I can remember well, it was announced that kraken had some receiver improvements.

I am not very sure, it seems that kerberos at maximum gain has some noise that worsens reception. I did not manage to see when this happens, perhaps it depends on strong nearby signals. I have 4 FM notch filters inserted.

In demo videos, people does not set gain to maximum, I do not know if it has anything to do with this.

With normal RTL-SDR blog v. 3 dongle, and notch filter inserted, I can set gain to maximum with no side effects and it works very well.

So my questions are these:

  1. Is this a known issue of kerberos?

  2. Would it be improved if I upgrade to kraken?

  3. Is there any general info about RX performance, to compare both radios?

Unfortunately, kraken price seems to have risen a lot and purchase needs to be carefully considered. Is this a temporary situation or would it last long?

Thank you very much.
