If you are serious about getting into SDR, having background in DSP can take you very far. Most of the painful SDR dragons are based in stuff that was optional at university time, but is otherwise not that hard to pick up once you know it exists.

Understanding the frequency domain, why it's useful, and how to get there & back, is like 80% of the puzzle.

What do you wish you knew about dsp and frequency back then that you know mow?

Ubiquity of the concepts. I'd have paid more attention if I had known. Things like aliasing, kernels and minimum viable sample rate show up pretty much everywhere.

If you were to give advice / do a talk on more details or areas to apply those suggestions what might they be?

Sorry just trying to get more detail out of you and apply it towards some code to make it practical. :)
