The URL posted by Mr. Thornton is part of an excellent mid-level tutorial series, quite worth reading.
I wanted to mention, in this mix, another SDR which seems to be somewhat unknown in this country; /vide/ http://www.rfsystem.it/shop/... This receiver "PMSDR" has T/R switching, covers up into the VHF region, and is physically very small and available in kit form. I had one of the early models, and was quite pleased with its quality. In its newest form, it can serve as a stand-alone unit or as a panadapter with, for example, the K3. I believe there is a US/Canadian dealer. QST's articles do not demonstrate any particular expertise or breadth of knowledge in this field. John Ragle -- W1ZI ===== On 4/6/2011 4:52 PM, George A.
