Re. My experiences of using SDR-IQ and SDRplay
as external receiver of Kenwood TS-590SG -
while running HDSDR.
</b><br>
<br>
Good morning friends of SDR and greetings from
Miami, Florida.
<br>
<br>
It finally happened! <br>
<br>
Now is "plug and play". All I needed was to
connect the antenna output of either the SDR
receiver to the DRV (RCA jack on the back of the
TS-590SG) after previously enabling "ANT" from
Menu 85 and plunging the USB 2.0 cable to my
Windos 8.1 computer. Now, "METER/DRV" on the
front of the TS-590SG is used to toggle the
function ON/OFF.
<br>
<br>
After installing the plugins in HDSDR it all
runs like (even better) than a $6,000.00 SDR
transceiver, since OmniRig Syncronized both rigs
perfectly and I can even access the Control
Console of the SDRplay while running HDSDR for
full receiver control.
<br>
<br>
And friends, everything is STABLE! <br>
<br>
I paid for the TS-590SG $1,450.00 delivered.
<br>
IMHO as an Amateur, who is only a USER, the
-broader- future of SDR in Amateur Radio is in
HYBRID setups of SDR receivers with modern
conventional, well engineered, high quality
transceivers.
<br>
<br>
I respectfully suggest that considerations of
further development of softwares like HDSDR may
be warranted, since Kenwood's decision to allow
for external SDR receivers to plug into their
radios, to run in parallel with their Internal
receivers, may indeed be, THE REAL GAME CHANGER!
<br>
<br>
Always searching for a Happy Amateur Radio
Experience...
<br>
<br>
Thank you and 73
<br>
