I see that the "60" allows for adjusting the sof mute and 7 band widths.

If you found some improvemnts already :), my advice is to read programming guide
You will understand a lot about flexibility D60 chip fine tuning in comparison with B20

These were always there with software programming with caveats about distortion. The baseline specs for RX sensitivity on all bands seems the same. For some reason, I also notice that the 47xx series is now claiming 150 to 279 kHz Long wave. I don't see the near full coverage 150 to 1700 kHz. Is this still a software option?
