Radio hardware is helping "break" SW ...
Actually, we have been taught to think in terms of hardware. The major
importance has been put on hardware and "features." This is now killing SW radio ... SW radios should be nothing more than "black boxes", it should be the software which defines the radio ... if you want to go the extra expense, pop a processor in the radio ... if not, use a computer to drive the radio ... But, the emphasis should have went off "models" of receivers a time a ago ... this would let one change digital encryption/decrypting algorithms at will ... radio would become upgradeable without big costs .... the actual broadcasters would be the only subject of real importance .... the way it is now, the hardware is important ... and, with no broadcasters, how long can that last? It is obvious, SDR radios should be the standard today ... like it or not, you will, in the end, realize that is correct ... however, it may already be too late for even this to save SW ...
