SDR-1000-RX * NEW * Software Defined radio Receive Only * Frequency coverage: Receive 0.01-65MHz * Modes SSB, CW, AM, FM * Receiver sensitivity, 500Hz bandwidth, 26dB INA setting - 141dBm, AM sensitivity, 10dB S/N, FM sensitivity, 12dB SINAD The Flex-Radio SDR-1000 is a complete Software Defined Radio (SDR) transceiver designed for amateur radio use. It is used in conjunction with a personal computer (PC) for all Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and control functions of the radio. It uses fully open source software and program updates are available on the web. The concept of Software Defined Radio is to have a flexible approach to an HF transceiver without inflexible hardware. With SDR the PC becomes the central processor for the receiver. The majority of the tasks including IF filtering, SSB / AM/ FM generation, DSP processing, Audio tailoring, AGC, ALC and receiver demodulation are taken out of the hardware transceiver and given over to the PC. You will need however, a PC that is fast, ideally around 2.8GHz. Windows XP is an absolute necessity. The sound card is absolutely crucial to correct operation of the SDR-1000.
