Of course I should note that you will still have to have a PC connected to the SDR-1000 but that can be easily done with a mini-itx board. Better, yet it would be cool to strip most or all of the GUI stuff out of PowerSDR except for the setup forms (to make setting changes to the database - this

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
