Alan,
My opinion is that there are 2 things to keep in mind:
- Use a good quality computer (almost no problem nowadays) with
a good powersupply (my 12 volt with invertor to 220volts failed, the
charger starved)
- Dont use the computer for (to many) other applications. I installed
i-Tunes, afterwards no modulation on transmit but output to the speaker.
I am not sure if it was i_tunes, but had to install from an empty system
again to get SDR working, dont want to try again.
The SDR1000 seems to be fairly indestrukteble (nok on wood)

Onderwerp: [Flexradio] SDR for emergency comms?
My teenage son questions the suitability of any software-defined radio
-- especially one depending on a computer running Windows -- as a
reliable means of communications in emergencies. Any takers?
If I take the plunge and buy an SDR-1000, I expect to install my Icom
IC-706MkIIG in the car permanently, so that would be the
backup/emergency rig.
