New SDR Radio User’s Discussion Group.

Welcome to the SDR (Software Defined Radio) User’s Discussion Group.

This discussion group is for people interested in the state of the art of
the development of SDR (Software defined Radio) and the commercial, open
source and experimental options available to licensed radio amateurs
worldwide.

Its purpose is educational and informative.

To join visit this link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sdr-users/join?

In this new forum important things can be discussed such as:

What is DUC and DDC transceivers? Who is making them?

Does Hermes or Mercury, mean anything to you? What about SDR-IQ or Perseus?

Do they cost more or less to manufacture? Where are they manufactured? Who
manufactures them? What is a FPGA? And an ADC? Where are these components
engineered and/or manufactured?

What are the differences between Open source software and Propietary
software? PowerSDR, SmartSDR, cuSDR, Ham-radio SDR, and many others…? Who
is writing them? What is their history?

Is SDR for everyone?

And, what’s this about client servers?

How much more am I purchasing for $9,000.00? If I already have a $900.00/
100W transceiver that operates all bands from 160M to 432MHz (70cm)?

How important are these extreme statistics being published by the ARRL and
other independent labs?
