Guy: Winrad also supports them, but Winrad's problem is lack of support for AM.

You do not need a "super fast computer" to run them successfully. Here are the minimum and recommended specs: SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS - MINIMUM Pentium III at 800 MHz, Pentium 4 or Athlon XP 1600+ Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP 256 MB or RAM AGP Video Card with 32 MB of RAM 16 bit SB compatible sound card and speakers CD-ROM drive for software installation SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS - RECOMMENDED Pentium 4 at 2.2 GHz, Athlon XP 2000+ Windows 2000, XP 512 MB of RAM AGP 14x Video card with 64 MB of RAM 16 bit SB compatible sound card and speakers USB 1.1 or 2.0 port CD-ROM drive for software installation The typical off-the-shelf system sold today easily exceeds these requirements. My own Flex-Radio SDR-1000 runs well with a Intel Pentium-M Centrino 1.4 GHz laptop, as well as a AMD Athlon XP 2400+ homebrew system...definitely not state-of-the-art. I usually have other programs running at the same time, such as Internet and/or e-mail; Geoclock; various references in PDF files, anti-virus & firewall utilities, etc. By the way, what are the other programs which control the SDR-IQ? I know that RFSpace makes driver files available for developers, but I've not heard of software other than Spectravue.

A friend of mine has an early model. There's multiple programs available to control it. The only downside is you need a SUPER FAST computer to run these programs, and it's best to have a dedicated computer for this, though you don't HAVE to. It's an amazing radio however.
