[Lowfer] Software Defined Radios

[JJ]

Wow!  I forgot Spectrum Lab.  It will control the SDR and has all kinds 
of decoders built in.  It's not as elegant as SDR-Radio but it works good.

I totally understand what you're saying.  There are at least 2 SDR 
control programs that do have built in decoders for digital modes. 
SDR-Radio Console http://sdr-radio.com/ and Sigmira 
http://www.saharlow.com/technology/sigmira/  Unfortunately neither do 
QRSS.  I don't think it would be too hard to have the authors include 
this mode but it would probably take some prodding.

It isn't any harder to use Argo or any of the other decoding programs 
with VAC  But you're right.  It would be nice to have it all in one package.

Download SDR-Radio and hook up to some online radios.  Play around with 
them and see what they can do without having to lay out any $$$ out.  I 
put mine online from time to time.
