I don't mind admitting that most of the information on this page:

flies right over my head, but it's all very interesting! What is paragraph
5 saying - that my *analogue* tuner is carrying out A/D and D/A
conversions..??



** A " sample and hold " is an ANALOGUE circuit.

The blurb in that para is all gobbledegook.


Why are you talking about sample and hold? It uses a monostable with a
duration roughly half the repetition rate.
