   I don't know, I have too less experience with it. I often use   
   WebSDR/KiwiSDR and the signal quality extremely depends on the   
   environment. There are public KiwiSDRs that have a good SNR, but I   
   think this is because of the local noise around the antenna from the   
   neighborhood/other devices.   
      
   Another feature of some SDRs is that they can do noise reduction. I   
   don't know how they implement it.
