Hi Everyone,
Thanks to everyone who has helped me with this situation.
I now have a new machine on order and will report back to the group when it is

I can't agree more with Peter on this point. I was saddened by the
discontinuation of the 1W SDR-1000 though I understand it from FRS's
business standpoint. For my VHF+ work I just can't justify dropping
about 3K on a 5000a to be used as a 10m IF. And for $479 the Indian
board sure beats

The "exploitation" will come as people come up to speed. These guys started at
absolute zero instead of at some temp more in line with where you would have
done it, but from absolute zero there is no where to go but up. From a small
business perspective its the path of least resistance. My gu

OK.. so it occurred to me this morning, reading the comments about
hardware and software that PowerSDR has become like Windows.

A hearty AMEN to the comments by W9OY & K1PGV.
In the Flex-5000 series we have the best SDR technology available anywhere.
However, with the cost starting at $2800, it is admittedly a little out of
the reach for many. An entry-level SDR rig should be a welcome addition to
the marketplace. Once u

Joke about poor Indian quality, or decry what this company's done as

Which is exactly why you have to continuously upgrade the technology or the

I think Gerald's strategy to move forward with the 5000A and the 5000D will
keep him ahead of most of the competition.

Open Source != Public Domain. This is a fundamental legal distinction that

Tim,
They are correct. They didn't re-invent the wheel, they copied it! In all
fairness, they do give credit to Gerald & his QEX articles; they just
conveniently neglect to mention the SDR-1000.
It would appear that they got their hands on an SDR-1000, reverse engineered
it, & re-packaged it
Darrell,
Remember that PowerSDR is open source and therefore completely in the public

I 100% agree that credit should be given for the effort and innovation that
allowed them to easily and cost effectively produce a 1 watt SDR-1000 "clone"
on a single board. They were able to do this because of open source software
and the schematics being in the public domain. And there alread
