Looking at SDR

The other day I was checking out the ARRL website and I read Stan Horzepa’s, WA1LOU column Surfin’: Hamming on the edge.

Since I am a computer guy, SDR has always intrigued me.  I have been looking at sticking my toe in the water for awhile, but didn’t want to spend a lot of money.  The softrock stuff looked good, but I didn’t want to be stuck on one band.

Stan had a link to http://garage-shoppe.com/wordpress/ , so I followed it and started reading about Pete Goodmann’s LD-1 SDR receiver.  The price and performance look good, so as soon as I get the Sienna done, I might order one and start playing.  I looks like it might be a good match to the Sienna for a Pan-Adapter.  We will see.
