Tnx for the comment. It appears to be a great learning tool
for SDR.

Radio Kit
Just as a note, the USB port is used for nothing
more then a power source. There is no command or control of the
hardware. The radio's output is fed to the sound card where all the work
is really done. I'm not sure as I see it as that much different
then a simple PSK radio.
Still, it's hard to be too critical of a working kit that
costs less then $25.
The
kit is the SoftRock 40. The
group that sold the kit is the
American QRP Club, website
is : http://www.amqrp.org/
The
kit is sold out, but I think a new and improved version is in development and
I expect it will be a kit offering soon. The SoftRock 40 kit was only
$23.00. And Wow! Does it work
fantastic. Absolutely amazing and some
terrific software is being developed for it too. I was lucky enough to get one,
wish I ordered ten. I think we are in a revolution in SDR. I would never admit it, but I
almost think the little receiver outperforms my Omni 6+.
