Software Defined Radio at all, without frontiers or flags,</div>

Does it output multiple variable-rate subbands for separate processing or does it process internally down to a few narrow-band baseband channels? If the latter, it is YASHRT. Oh, don't get me wrong, there are lots of really nice YASHRT radios. If you think about it, DDC can be hamstrung to the point where it is just a slightly nicer version of The Same Old Thing (YASHRT). </div>
<div><br></div><div>I am sure you build a lovely radio. And I know that Flex builds lovely radios. Elecraft, Ten-Tec, Yaesu, Kenwood, and Icom all build lovely radios. That doesn't mean they aren't YASHRT. </div><div>
<br></div><div>Consider this: panadaptor and waterfall displays aside, if the same operation is possible with Collins separates, then we are dealing with YASHRT. And there is nothing wrong with YASRHT. If all you want to do is ragchew on CW or SSB, any of these radios will be adequate. And if you want to do contesting you need a bit more receiver dynamic range but the *fuctional* *architecture* of the radio remains the same. YASHRT. </div>
<div><br></div><div>DDC/DUC makes possible things that are not possible with YASHRT. CWskimmer is the first such application. WSPR was the next. The differentiating application from my viewpoint is decoding MANY channels at the same time. We have the wherewithal right now to, with a single Hermes board, decode every detectable RTTY, PSK, CW, Olivia, WSPR, THOR, and JT65 signal on all the open HF bands concurrently. Do THAT with your KWM2 (or Yaesu FTDX9000, or Flex 6700, or Elecraft K3, or ...)!</div>
