Radio Kit
Yes, The SoftRock 40 is an excellent learning tool
and introduction
to the possibilities of SDR. Simple hardware
combined with very
sophisticated software results in something
remarkable. As an
introduction tool, it is more than a
simple PSK radio. If you supply
5v, it does not need the USB
port. The USB only supplies a handy 5v.

Just as a note, the USB port is used for nothing more then a
power
source. There is no command or control of the hardware.
The radio's
output is fed to the sound card where all the work is really
done.
I'm not sure as I see it as that much different then a simple PSK
radio.

but I think a new and improved version is in
development and I expect it
will be a kit offering soon. The
SoftRock 40 kit was only
$23.00. And Wow! Does it work fantastic.
Absolutely
amazing and some terrific software is being developed for
it
too. I was lucky enough to get one, wish I ordered
ten. I
think we are in a revolution in
SDR. I would never admit it, but I
almost think the
little receiver outperforms my Omni 6+.
