Let me ask the question in a different way. Assume we have a receiver with the 455 khz IF. A common available xtal is 1843 khz and 3686 khz. 1843/4 = 460.7 So if we mix the IF with the osc we will get 5.7 khz output at the input the soundcard for SDRadio.
Do we need to do anything ? How broad a range of input frequencies will the soundcard pgm accept?
