Bom dia. Oi. For me, this was an informative and interesting review. I am very seriously considering the purchase of an SDR-1000. In preparation, I have upgraded my computer, purchased the Delta44 and Eric's ground isolation kit. The only thing that has prevented me from purchasing one to

Hello Tim, I'm confident that the hardware issues related to the Eham review are the exception and not the rule. Remember, many early purchasers of the SDR-1000 assembled their radios in sections, probably purchasing the board stack first, with the remainder to follow. That leaves a lot of

Well, let’s look at the complaints. “RF suppression is inadequate. The SDR has little to NO RF shielding. This means if you run an external amplifier...GOOD LUCK! If you run the internal 100W PA... you will need some luck as well. This radio was originally designed as a QRP 1 watt

Hi all, First, the D44 interface kit works a charm. Nice advantage other than getting rid of the rats nest of cables is that thegood old Radio Shack audio cables seat much better in the SDR's connectors than do those from Hosa, which are prone to falling out. Thanks to all for putting this
