SDR's are like digital cameras...
The closer you look, the less they look like film.
Great for spectrum analysis and for portable operation when you are traveling.
Hard to beat the warmth of a well designed receiver.

I'm sitting here now at mid-day hearing "Jack Rabbit" football from WNAX-570, Yankton SD (S7 @ 726 km/451 mi), on the WiNRADiO hooked to a long wire. It's an easy to use receiver and still works on Windows 10. It simply need a better aerial and I have an ALA1503LNP-NA on order.
