[Lowfer] Software Defined Radios

[Dexter McIntyre W4DEX]

Maybe I don't understand what you mean by not being able to use the 
audio out of a SDR-IQ as input to a decoder.
I've run Argo and SpecLab with my SDR-IQ.  For the input to any audio 
decoder I just select mix output in the audio recording option window of 
the sound card.
