Just a short, curmudgeonly, comment from one who has used many
(almost all) of the extant SDR software packages...
These all seem to be excellent examples of "software-gone-wild."
Apparently the authors received requests from various sources, and in an
attempt to include something for everyone, they have proceeded to
include something for everyone.
The computers are not the weak link -- almost every recent computer
will provide +/- 192 kHz of spectral width if equipped with the
appropriate fast stereo sound card. The problem is that the software
packages are horribly cluttered, non-resizeable, collections that do not
take advantage of, e.g., modern Windows capability, in short, BAD
software. The reason is not hard to find...it is historical. At some
point, SDR software authors need to break free of these efforts, stop
patching and grafting onto earlier efforts, and proceed to write
something new, clean, and utilitarian.
