Jim, I use a basic e-probe/SDR-IQ for reception. There are many more,
improved SDR choices available today. I'm not familiar with the Cloud-IQ
but with 24 bits that's a good thing. Not good is the lack of an
external clock input. I've modified one of my SDR-IQs to run off a
GPS-locked external clock. Perhaps that's not too hard to do for the
Cloud-IQ. The Cloud-IQ has a TCXO while the SDR-IQ just has an XO.
However, I've noticed that as long as the SDR-IQ clock is recently
calibrated it's quite stable when used in a normal hamshack environment.
For example, no problem decoding Wolf transmissions. Perhaps others will
chime in with their opinions of what today's best receiver is from a
performance/cost viewpoint.
73, Garry
