I have been using HDSDR (free) and the 12 KHz out of my TS-2000 (free) and I also converted the 455 out of the R-390A to 12 KHz (free from the junk pile), fed it into my soundcard (SB but I don't think it matters as long as it will do 44000 KHz or so) and as far as AM it's pretty impressive. It doesn't get mashed by the local audio chain. Much better than stand alone systems. But I wouldn't use it for SSB or CW, the delay is to much and hard to tune. AM is nice because you can immediately adjust the BW to what ever you like and watch the BW and signal while you're doing it. Only limited by the filter in the system and your audio amp/speaker system, 10 KHz for the TS-2000 and 16 KHz for the R-390A I'm still trying to figure out the DRM for DReaM. It may require a license or virtual system, not sure.
