The SDR-1000™ from FlexRadio Systems is the hardware component of a
complete Software Defined Radio (SDR) transceiver interface to a Windows
Personal Computer. It was purchased April 2006 and still has 8 months on
the warranty. The covers have never been of the unit
It provides everything needed to convert a PC into a high performance,
11KHz-65MHz general coverage receiver with 160M-6M (2M optional) Amateur
Radio band transmit capability.
The SDR-1000™ delivers 100W PEP on the 160-10m (50W 60m)HF bands and
0.5W on 6 metres. (This package includes the SDR-100W PA linear stage.
I am suppling with this SDR-1000 the Delta 44 sound card, and breakout
box and all the cables to hook it up. I am also suppling the parallel
cable to connect the SDR-1000 to the PC.
Package price $1200. The reason I'm selling is because I have a 5000 on
order.
The FlexRadio SDR-1000™ is also the first open source software, amateur
radio transceiver to incorporate the scalable DSP performance of a
personal computer (PC) and sound card to perform all modulation,
demodulation, and control functions of the radio. The general purpose PC
architecture now vastly outperforms even the best proprietary DSP chips,
with cost/performance constantly improving. In addition, the
professional audio market is driving significant improvements in sound
card technology. The SDR-1000™ takes advantage of these trends to
provide upgradeable hardware and software performance"…the TT3O IMD .
The SDR-1000™ incorporates a novel Quadrature Sampling Detector (QSD) to
provide high dynamic range with minimal components.
An Analog Devices AD9854 quadrature DDS and 200MHz 1ps jitter clock
oscillator provides continuous coverage with very low phase noise.
The combination of the QSD and DSP digital signal processing produces a
transceiver that has superior performance over conventional radios and
easily upgraded with new software features provided at no additional
cost. Receiver dynamic range and selectivity are in the top performance
class of all amateur radio transceivers.

*POWER SDR SOFTWARE*
The software functionality is provided via free download of the Power
SDR software (from the Flex Radio web site). The PowerSDR™control
software provides 100% of the signal processing and control for the
SDR-1000™. A free download makes available the latest new features and
performance improvements which are updated on almost a weekly basis. GPL
open source licensing allows many users to contribute to the radio’s
enhancement. On the other hand, NO software programming knowledge is
required to operate and enjoy the radio.
Some of the features of PowerSDR™
· Real-time Panadapter and Waterfall Spectrum Displays of the passband
· User defined "On the Fly" drag and set Filter Setting
· Brick wall filters down to 25 Hz with no ringing
· Zero beat click tuning of signals in the Panadapter
· Advanced digital AGC performed after the filter
· DSP Noise Reduction, Noise Blanking (2) and Notch Filter
· Digital EQ, Compression, Compander and variable transmit bandwidth
filters for the ultimate SSB and AM experience
· Integrated CAT for use with any logging or contest software
· Built-in Iambic keyer and automatic zero beat for CW
· Full Split operation with MultiRX makes working DX a breeze
· All mode (SSB, CW, AM, FM, SAM & DRM) with multiple bandstack
registers and memories
