I wasn't so concerned about whether it's ISB, DSB, or whatever; I was more interested in the comment that it would make the rig easy to build. If a simple rig were built with two balanced modulators from a quadrature RF source (easy to do), using stereo audio with a sound card program designed

Don't know... I'll have to do a google search on softrock and see what it is. If that *is* what a softrock is, I may just have to get one to play with :) Jose A. Amador wrote: Isn't that a Softrock using SDR-1000 or M0KGK software? Jose, CO2JA

The SoftRock V6.1 two band transceiver is very expensive, it's $32 if you can afford that much I recommend you buy one. ;} What a deal! At 06:19 PM 2/1/2007, you wrote: Don't know... I'll have to do a google search on softrock and see what it is. If that *is* what a softrock is, I may just

Interesting. Run PSK on AM and you get two sidebands for diversity reception and a pilot carrier. This could make building small PSK rigs easier... Leigh/WA5ZNU What about DSB or NBFM, same result? -- Thanks! 73, doc, KD4E ~~ Projects:

For a simple transmitter, how about a sound card mode that uses the sound card in STEREO mode with I and Q components on L and R channels, feeding two balanced modulators, and build a phasing-type exciter to do J2D type emissions? Maybe not quite as simple as AM, DSB, or NBFM, but probably pretty

If you place different data on either sideband, its ISB which is illegal or if not now, may be in the near future. However, if detecting either sideband independently does not produce separate data streams, then its not ISB. DSB would only double the information of one sideband so you would
