[PVRCNC] SDR recommendations

[w3us at casa-aloha.net]

Hi Nate and many thanks for the great feedback - just what I was hoping for..  

We have transitioned from RVing to a home in The Villages, FL, where unfortunately the Go-To antenna is a stealth flagpole vertical.  Bummer, but it is what it is. 

So my follow-on question is:  Can FLEX or Elecraft SDR operate SO2R over ONE (multi-band) antenna port?  My guess is no, but am hopeful to be wrong.

We are missing you on Wednesday’s CWT.  Higher priorities no doubt?

73,
