Hi Andrew, I don't have any experience with a SDR but I do have experience with a Meteostick device which is capable of reading the raw data coming from the Davis equipment.
So, yes it is possible to read the raw soil moisture data directly from the soil and moisture stations. Again, I don't know anything about the ISS SDR interceptor driver, but I assume it can't handle the soil moisture data out of the box. I have co-written the Meteostick driver and the soil moisture and leaf wetness formulas I have developed myself. The soil temperature formula is written by Chris Matteri. I presume the ISS SDR driver has to be extended by these soil and leaf formulas to convert the raw data. Each Davis station need to have an unique ID from 1 to 8, so one ISS and 7 leaf and soil stations will be the maximum.
