For me personally, Joe average(?) ham, I'm not really that concerned with all the hair splitting definition semantics of what SDR is or isn't. To me it all really comes down to simply this: "It's all about the 'S' in 'SDR'. And the if the 'S' isn't routinely changing the 'D' significantly, then all you have left is just 'R'". So for me most of my future radio dollars will be directed toward radios with lots of mfg. supported/encouraged/permitted activity in the realm of the 'S' & 'D', the 'R' will then take care of itself. A lot of ham radios that do fit the typical definition of 'SDR' are failing miserably when it comes to my stated position above. And I'm finding it increasingly difficult to even consider radios that have large HW constraints to their SW define-ability.
