I got a Lime and I've not really had a great experience with it. You can't actually receieve HF with it unless you desolder an inductor. Also mine has a HUGE DC bias which introduces a ton of noise and basically cuts the usable bandwidth in half, if not more. Sadly I think these things were overhyped and/or ran into design issues that keep them from living up to the promise

This is very upsetting, I have been really looking forward to getting my LimeSDR. I’ve already opted for having it delivered with the offending inductor removed, but reading of high DC biases and (elsewhere in the thread) bad drivers and poor interoperability with GnuRadio has kind of spoiled my excitement.

Well, I wish you the best. It's possible they're just having QC issues. Yours might be perfect!
