Re: [Elecraft] AFEDRI SDR for K3 Panadapter
Hi, I recently acquired an Afedri, too. I am using it with HDSDR but not really thrilled about that software. The radio itself is fun to play with. I put a 10MHz high pass filter in front of it and have had no problems with overload after that, even at maximum gain. With that maximum gain I think this radio is more sensitive than any other SDR on the market. I would kill to use NaP3 with it, but haven't had any success. Can you contact me off list with suggestions? Knut - AB2TC Michael Morgan wrote Dave, I use the Afedri with my K3. Works great with NaP3 as well as SDR-Radio, Spectravue, CuteSDR. One cable to the radio (SMA-BNC) and USB cable to the computer. I also connected it to my networking switch so I can use other apps that support it's networking mode. I chose it for it's simplicity with just a cable either way. No seperate sound cards etc. Works fine no problems on iMac run OSX 10.8 and bootcamp in Windows 7/64. Let me know if you want any more info.

It's in the vicinity of $250-$300, has both Ethernet and USB connections, and can handle 1.25 MHz of bandwidth on the Ethernet connection or 384 KHz on the USB connection. (I don't have the specs up in front of me but that's from memory). I thought I would ask here if anybody had one of the AFEDRI units and/or if anybody had used one with the K3. I know it's one of the lower-end SDRs so it has some limitations in the front end but I thought the Ethernet/USB/bandwidth aspects looked nice. I have used a Softrock that I built as a panadapter and it works but have been thinking about upgrading.
