Hi Group,
Just a few weeks ago I knew nothing about the SDR-1000, and now I have had
my interest peaked. Brian, W5AMI has been linking MP3 recordings taken from his
FlexRadio, and some of those AM clips have absolutely astonishing audio. I went
to their website, and I discovered that this company is a 10 minute drive from
my QTH, and one of the key employees is Ed Popp, K5BOT. Ed is an old friend,
and I used to work with him years ago. So today I went over there, and had the
grand tour.
They are in the midst of a 250 unit run. Everything is organized really
nice, and this technology sure seems neat. The sound card on a computer is a
critical part of the receiver, and it is the IF amplifier centered at 11 Khz. I
asked about image problems, and Ed says the software nulls out the image, so
therefore a low frequency IF is not a problem.
I was very impressed after my tour, and 'eyeball' with Ed. Maybe Santa will get
me one of those 250...
