Dave:
Those units are very basic, beginner models that are not for serious DXing. They use chips from low cost cable tuners. I'd move up a level if I were you. One low cost option will shortly be released: http://airspy.com/airspy-hf-plus/ No price yet, but I suppose the price won;t be much different than the existing VHF and UHF models that go for about $160.

Subject: [IRCA] $37 SDR? I may never be able to afford a Perseus but I have noticed that SDR prices have been dropping. On a whim, I searched "SDR" on a few international, online retailers. I found a $29 one, at TomTop but it was in kit form. :( I searched again and found this one, for $37. Complete, ready to go. 100 KHz-1.7 GHz http://www.tomtop.com/communication-instruments-200/p-e2225.html Would this have any chance of being usable for MW DX? My main question is how much of the spectrum could be recorded? FM DX? Now, if they only offered a $37, Wellbrook knockoff. :) 73, Dave in Indy (Noblesville) _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca IRCA Info Page - montreal.kotalampi.com<http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca> montreal.kotalampi.com Your email address: Your name (optional): You may enter a privacy password below.
