[digitalradio] Software defined receivers, versus transceivers, for digital modes ?
I note that Flexradio is introducing a QRP SDR transceiver later this year for under US$700 , it will be general coverage and support all HF bands. I'm mainly interested in SDR for the ability to monitor a whole band for digital signals and it occurred to me to that perhaps a receiver, as opposed to a transceiver, might be useful. Then, switch to my other rigs for transmit. It may be a step backwards to the days of separates , anyone tried this? Are there any multiband SDR receivers with all the usual amateur radio bells and whistles? -- Andy

The goal is also for DM780 to take data from the SDR console and use it to display / monitor up to 200kHz of bandwidth. Lets not forget the opportunities here to even transmit with wider bandwidths then before. There are likely both weak signal and faster data realms here we can finally begin to explore... For a starter, how about a 10 KHz version of the QPSKx25 mode... 73 Bill - WA7NWP

Well - this assumes you have a SDR transmitter of course, but the SDR SoftRock is cheap and more than good enough. With a simple 10 watt amp you'll have everything needed...

The Softrock radios make me a little nervouse because their availability seems sporadic and their website makes you wonder if they are still a full busines. Is the V9 mentioned in this thread a multiband? Ideally hams would be beter off with one SDR that covers 80-10 rather thans several for each band. Also,I would like to avoid kits.

Hi, Yes, multiband, the website isn't too clear but the Yahoo! group is. There are guys who will assemble for you.
