Guy needs to chime in on this one.........I think the flex only does
that good on IP3 if used with the "approved" sound card ????

No big deal as I don't think that sound card is very expensive.

Those are REALLY good spec's for 1.8 mhz & above

I have heard several amateur radio op's using the SDR-1000 & they seem
to like them. Not sure if it is due to the receiver or the "HIFI" wide
band width SSB transmit. I know those op's running that bassy audio
think they sound good & do when they are 20 over but try to understand
what they are saying when they are in a pileup or just a little above
the noise level.

I for one just do not like using a receiver from a computer interface.
I have tried about all of the programs with several receivers & it
just takes the thrill factor of tuning a radio out for me. Many do like
software control & if you do.... have at it.

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.

The SDR has IMHO two problems. One is that it requires a PC to work and the
other is that you have to operate it via a PC.

If you like the ergonomics of a PC controled radio and have a PC next to
the radio then it's fine. I sit too long in front of a PC, when I use
a radio, I want a box with knobs, dials, switches, etc.
