Personally, I have no interest in a 'radio' that requires a computer to
operate.

;-)

The Top 10 Reasons not to buy a FlexRadio SDR-1000

10. You have a knob, button and switch fetish.

9. The excitement of owning a radio that constantly gets better might cause
you to have a heart attack.

8. You don't need a radio that can double as a narrow band spectrum
analyzer with the best performance figures ever seen in this price class.

7. You don't need the kind of continuously variable, ring free, brick wall
filters, and noise reduction available with digital signal processing.

6. You have no desire for a needlepoint accurate near real time spectrum
display, that easily displays the weakest of signals among the strong.

5. You prefer a radio that requires costly accessories such as roofing
filters and preselectors, rather than buying a radio that is complete and
reaches its design specification at no extra cost.

4. You don't want a radio with the best sounding receiver and transmitter
available at any price.

3. You don't need the most responsive support network available anywhere.

2. You don't want to turn all your other radios into boat anchors.

And, the number 1 reason...

1. You can't handle any more fun in your life!

:-))

Yeah, I know. Guess I'm happy with what I currently operate, and have had at
least moderate success with same.

the top "mega-priced" radios by Ten-Tec, Icom, and Yaseu."

"3rd and 4th order harmonics are so much better than any other radio
currently on the market."

You gotta wonder, with the accelerating vacation of HF by
broadcasters, the stagnation in the development of DRM, the ongoing war
on the radio hobby by HOA's and local government, and the gathering
threat of BPL making some spectra difficult if not impossible to use,
just who is this rig targeting?

And for the kind of money asked for premium rigs by Ten-Tec, ICOM, AOR
and now JRC, what do they know that we don't? What's coming?

Good question. I'm waiting to see the new offering by Kneisner + Doering.

WW3 where shortwave will be the main communications channel again after
the satellites get clobbered and the underseas cables get cut or

I don't think I can afford "T.B.A.".

Universal Radio now has the NRD-630 up on their site:

http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...vr/nrd630.html


Is this supposed to supersede the NRD-545?

I wonder why has less channels (300 vs 1000) and less bandwidths etc?

Don't forgot that US Military will be destroying the ionosphere very
shortly with it's Ionospheric Remediation program. The rest of the world
doesn't seem to think that the Ionosphere NEEDS remediation.

Will arrogance win out to the detriment of shortwave?

Look at the bigger picture. The headset is probably only ONE percent of
the radio cost. It's a BARGAIN.

Hi from Ken in the UK,

I think the filters mentioned in the 'Universal Radio' spec may apply to
fixed frequency roofing filters, not 2nd and third IF filtering that will be
taken care of by the 32 Bit DSP Circuits.
I am sure there will be more than enough to choose from going on DSP
equipment currently available in the market place at the moment......cheers
Mark, all, Ken, G4KIR.

The 'supplied bandwidths' mentioned by Universal certainly don't look like
roofing filters but merely your run of the mill standard voice and CW filters,
6, 3, 2.7, 1, 0.5 and 0.3 kHz.

My ham catalogs show a good amount of HF marine gear; I'd imagine
ships at sea would want this kind of radio, as well as shoreline
monitoring stations.

Not to mention spying operations, eavesdropping on n'ar-do-wells using
easily obtainable ham-type transceivers.

On the other hand, it's nice to know that someone is still interested
in building a receiver based on performance, rather than buzzword features.
