It's all about the software

Making the complex simple

Software-defined radio (SDR) is a radio communication system where components that have been typically implemented in hardware (e.g. mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators, detectors, etc.) are instead implemented by means of software on a personal computer or embedded system. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Introduction

SDR-Radio.com is a Windows solution for Software Defined Radio (SDR) receivers and transceivers. Designed for the commercial, government, amateur radio and short-wave listener communities, this software provides a powerful interface for all SDR users.

SDR-Radio.com is working very closely with leading hardware manufacturers to bring you the best SDR experience available today.

The software is being continually developed with new features added on a regular basis. Licenced radio amateurs and shortwave listeners do not need a licence to use this software; a licence is required for commerical use.

This software supports radios from most major manufacturers, simple soundcard radios such as SoftRocks and the excellent Airspy range. What are you waiting for?
