Good point Jim - I hadn't thought it through to consider/realize that the sound card is a full duplex device and therefore can handle TX and RX devices both concurrently and independently. Lee Pedlow NG6B San Diego, CA -Original Message- From: Jim Lux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed

Improving T/R relay transition latency through an alternative implementation (e.g. solid state switch, different relays, T/R isolation & receiver muting, etc.) is really the only way to practically change the existing SDR for better QSK performance (for those that need it). The board stack has TX &

Sure Cecil, here's my opinion. First of all, it it NOT for hamming on 2 Meters. It is not very sensitive, only covers 144 to 146 MHz, and only has 100 mWatts of output. You would need a receive pre-amp (GaAs FET) and a power amp. See the FRS web site: < http://www.flex-radio.com/accessories.htm

Lee and All, Well, yes, but to QSK the SDR-1000 alone which is the first step cheaper diodes can be used; 1N4007s work well at 100 watts. Check the K2 schematic. This type of T/R switch can be modularized and connected in place of a T/R relay, generically speaking, that is. A small, fast re
