Re: [IRCA] [am] Remote SDR operation

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Craig,

If you were serious about that last statement, you might want to go 
out and buy a WinRadio 313e. Before you die laughing, Chuck Rippel 
(of R-390A restoration fame) and I are quietly in love with these 
wonderful SDRs.... if you believe in active, real time DXing... they 
are nimble moving around the band, have a first rate GUI and hear 
things very well.  Their internal audio recorder is a good one, 
too.  Their RF recording capability (20 kHz wide) is pathetic and 
I've never really used it.

WinRadio sells a complete add-on for remotely operating the 313e and 
(I understand) it has been used very successfully by various 
governmental agencies. I don't personally know of anyone who has used 
this receiver remotely. So "If I found an SDR that would be operable 
over the internet, I'd buy it
today." maybe you want to check it out?

If you do, Craig, please keep us informed!
