Some good comments on SDR,

Yet, I Don't think I would look at SDR vs Non SDR for contesting,

I would look at contesting functionality, and budget. For functionality ease of use, quick acquisition of signal, and Filtering abilities. I'd also consider strongly the ability to handle SSB, CW and digial mode contesting. Some only do well in one mode but lack in the others.

I'm no expert, but contesting seems to be less demanding on receiver performance but far more demanding on filtering abilities.

It doesn't appear that SDR can improve certain recieve and transmit performance parameters, This area is hardware in that it depends on the first input stages and the quality of the tranmsit finals. this will always set the radio's performance characteristics.

SDR can help improve ability of manufacturer to make changes in functionality by Improved DSP filtering, altering Computer interfacing, Improving quick QSY, signal aquisition and future modes of operation.

The Jupiter and the Orion are both SDR, Yet both have different performance and different markets and budgets.

My 2 Cents worth.

This pertains to SDR radios in general, and not specifically the
Ten-Tec SDR radios.

Question:

What are the advantages of an SDR radio over traditional radios
for contesters?
