...with the SDR-1000? I am sure all of us have asked ourselves that question at least once. I was talking to John W5GI today on 14.185 and the skip was longer than the path from Raleigh to Austin. I was a solid 52 barefoot; just above the noise - John was a 57 running a KW.. John did an on-air

Hello, They have to discuss their official answer with the laywers first... I started this thread, but the funny thing is that I dont miss the scanning at all. I just wanted to know why I couldnt find it. I got many answers. :-) But..if I had ordered the VHF transverter module I'd really miss it.

Howard, I'm using both the FA-66 and D44 in a single computer, the only degradation I've observed is that the D44 only works in the 48KHz sampling rate mode. It gets funky at 96KHz. I haven't played enough with the D44 settings to see if I can fix this problem. I would recommend you leave both i

Why no scanning with SDR? Because the software and the hardware aren't both products for sale. The software is open and available. The software used by us can be used for radios other than just ham radios. So - there are limitations on what "open" SDR software should do. Major ham radio compa

Interesting discussion. I have to agree that CW is probably the most "reliable" mode of communication - STILL. Hell, we can rap on a wall with an SOS, but not so with PSK or other modes. And I've not tried modulating the hull of a ship with my voice to let someone outside know there are people i
