John, I was engaged in a conversation about SRDs on the Ten Tec reflector a couple of days ago. Someone stated that SDRs needed to look like real radios in order to get wide acceptance. These consoles certainly fill that bill. Well done. However, I question the wisdom of filling up a

We are not operating radios - we are operating _modes_ (i.e., ssb phone OR cw OR rtty OR psk31 OR ... ). An all-mode console is great when demonstrating the radio to your SWL friend, but when he goes home you operate your radio mostly on your favorite mode, and you might benefit if your
