Interesting I wasn't aware of the filter issue with the original LimeSDR. The lower range was one reason why it was on the top of my list of something to pick up for when I've got a proper reason to need a full featured SDR, rather than just the mostly toy RTLSDR based stuff. That said I think it's still up there for the high input bandwidth (60MHz woo!) for me. Unlikely to ever need real transmit ability but being able to receive that much is a nice feature.

Agreed, the bandwidth is nice, but most of the signals you would play with in the lower bands have much lower bandwidth. Digital TV (like DVB_T) for example is only about 8Mhz. Generally in the lower frequencies taking up more than a few megahertz of bandwidth really messes with the available spectrum. Up in the microwave region (2Ghz+) that is not as much of a concern.
