[Premium-Rx] Software Defined Radio

[Pieter Ibelings]

Blair,

You can do that today. I use an RFSPACE SDR-14 on the IF output of my 
receiver's like the IC-R8500. It also allows me to see up to 4 MHz of 
waterfal display centered on the radio's center frequency. I can also 
demodulate two signals in any demod mode at the same time.

Regards,

Pieter
