This may be the answer to your dreams. A SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO!
http://www.flex-radio.com/ This radio is basically controlled by software. Selectivity not good enough? A new program is written and distributed (the programs are free!)... New band authorized? New software is written to include the new band... A new digital mode invented? Yup, new software is written to give the radio that capability... Scott N0EDV John Smith wrote: Decades have brought us moon landing, mars landings,masers, lasers, lets, fets, mosfets, computers, etc... But the shape of radio equip. has remained virtually stagnant. One "innovation" would be to just copy what the IBM clone has taught us. Build a radio of "cards." Just like the computer, a standard case which you can plugin various power supplies, frontend board "cards", intermediate board "cards", buffer amp board "cards", IF board "cards", audio board "cards", xmitter board "cards", final amp board "cards", etc.... I think you get the pic One radio case can/could virtually be any radio you can imagine.... new design in a frontend? Plug in a new front end "card", new audio offering? Plug in a new audio board "card." Someone really should get off a dead duff somewhere and DO IT!!!! Kinda makes ya wonder why not? Doesn't it? Warmest regards, John |
