I would be interested I have owned and operated the Flex 1500 and now use
the flex 5000A. I know Roy W5TKZ might be interested also he runs a 3000 and
a 6300.
Please keep me posted.

Eddie:
QSL on all of those SDR gadgets and kits. The whole
SDR adventure has come a long way since 2005 or so when
it began with a hand full of amateur experimenters. Nice
tho hear the XYL is so generous. I seem to recall she's a
ham also? My wife is very understanding of my passion
(madness ?) for this Ham radio stuff which is a blessing.

My first SDR was the little SDR-IQ made by RF space, I have seen them in
the
$400
range on Ebay.. it is the whole HF spectrum....
there are cheaper single band kits and real cheap VHF / UHF SDR thingys..
I think the best bargain though is the Flex 3000 they can be had for
a bit over $1000 and its full 100watts built in ant tuner and so
fourth...
I had one and sold it after my wife bought me a maxed out Flex 5000 as an
aniversary gift.. ( I have an amazing wife,.. ha ha) ..
There are people using the SDR boxes with regular old fashioned Ham Radios
just for the displays.. I heard a guy n the air with a big dog ICOM 7800
(about $10000)
with a flex 3000 hooked into the IF just so he had the FLEX display...
A lot of guys use the little RFSPACE SDR box as an IF display on many
kinds
of old fashioned Ham radios, there is a lot on that over on Youtube...
Well anyway, its soething I am passionate about ...haha

It seems to me that pretty much all of the SDR stuff is pretty high end
stuff. I mean, the ANAN-10E is $1000 and you still need a pretty powerful
computer to actually do something with it.
The SDR kit (the Peaberry) that's been 95% assembled on my bench for a
couple of months now is even $200 and that doesn't count the hours and
hours
of surface-mount soldering it requires to build.

SDRers:
I would like to get in touch with anyone using Flex or ANAN
SDRs. I am a DSP consultant and amateur radio enthusiast. If
possible I would like to form a group of interested Hams using or
wanting to use SDRs. My goal is to educate, where possible, and
gather information from amateurs regarding their concerns or problems
with
high end SDRs.
TNX & 73,
Gary Sitton, K5AMH
