Could obtain better quality at the higher channel counts by phase shifting the audio for each channel such that the modulation peaks do not exactly align for each (as they do now). Even inverting the audio for half the channels would help.

It does not appear to be "precisely" the procedure, in that sufficient nose up trim was not selected by the yoke manual trim switch prior to pulling the trim cutouts. And then they did not work the mechanical trim wheel hard enoug

Keeping things simple, if the input data SNR is, say, 16 bits, and the PID coefficients are 16 bits, then there is 32 bits of significand at the output of the control gain multipliers. For single precision float, this is truncated to 23 bit

Most modern FPGAs have a PLL (or DLL) implementation [0] which can multiply the external clock by some rational number. e.g. 50MHz external crystal clock is multiplied by 5/2 to obtain a 125MHz internal clock. 0. https://www

Well, maybe. From a regulatory perspective, the radio users have more FCC clout than insouciant interference sources like Comcast and TW, neglecting whatever regulatory capture may exist.
