While waiting for zero hour of the CQ WW CW contest, these thoughts occur on the recent postings re software-driven base station rigs. 1. They are (with the odd exception of the IC-746PRO) damnably e
Those of us who are content to be somewhat behind the curve are the benefactors of the rapid change in "state of the art." I bought my Jupiter from a ham who decided to get an Orion. He gave me a goo
fling. I may opt out.<< If you don't have money but time, you make decent contest radio from old radios with some modifications (been there done), you can get Elecraft K2, build it, cheap, best value
Hi Keith-- I could easily copy your post, changing Jupiter to Omni VI+, sign it, and be right at home on my outlook. 73, Ariel, k4aal _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing li
Moore law only really applies to computing power, or more specifically microprocessor component density. Our radios (even the software driven ones) are still far more "radio" than "computer" so Moore
Instead of assuming a dedicated microprocessor embedded within the radio, consider an architecture in which the software runs on your PC, which is connected to purchased (or home-brewed) external har

Actually, in addition to the flex-radio mentioned elsewhere, you can buy a receiver built on just such an architecture today -- the Winradio G303i (www.winradio.com) is an internal PCI card receiver
I love Keith's post about being behind the curve. Actually he is at the peak of the curve letting the fruit ripen and the beta testing done by an army of passionate hams willing to grab the brass rin
