Hi Jon, The Soft66LC looks like it should be reasonable value for money compared to many of the other ready made offerings. I got one of Miura's little Soft66lite kits to have a play with a while ago, all worked fine.
For receive only use, Winrad, or better now Mario DG0JBJ's WinradHD work very well. Its not got all the bells and whistles of some of the other SDR programs, but personally I much prefer the waterfall and spectrum display for picking out signals close to the noise floor. I use it for a lot of my VHF work and also with a 144 - 28MHz converter on the IF output of my microwave transverters. Nice to see what is happening over a wide spread of frequencies. Have fun, SDR opens up a whole new world, 73, Bob G8VOI --- In [email protected], "ws1k.rm" <w...@...> wrote: > > > > --- In [email protected], "g8voip" <g8voi.reeves59@> wrote: > > > > Hi Jon, > > > > One of the major things to look at very carefully when considering > > >purchasing any SDR equipment is the compatibility with all of the > > >available SDR programs... > > Bob, > Thank you for taking the time to write your very informative reply. > I believe I have settled on the Soft66LC.
