Hi Alberto and Group - There are some people using the softrock 6 Lite to take the 455 IF from a receiver and then do the rest of the processing through the combination of softrock/sound card/software. A groug using this approach with a Yaesu FT1000D initially planning to use it just as a spectrum display concluded:
"I can say conclusively that a weak SSB and CW signals are generally more readable/more comfortably readable listening through the digital filters of the SoftRock/Rocky or KGKSDR/Delta 44 than through the crystal filtering of the FT1000 when there is QRN/static crashes present. As the FT1000 receiver is widely regarded as one of the best lowband weak signal receivers, owing to its excellent cross mod performance and filtering, this says a lot for how far digital filtering and processing has come." I wonder if anyone has an opinion as to how much of the better performance is due to the digital filtering and how much might actually be the different detection offered by IQ and the software? Bob
