CentSDR

Cent SDR!!!

My interest in SDRs take me to any site matches with SDR key word :)
recently I came across a post in FaceBook page of ( Puiu Alexandru ) yo2ldk.

The article referred to in his post is in Japanese language. Though Google translate it to a comprehensible state, but if it was in English then it would have been better. Any ways the look in the picture is nice and very cute!



Though it is a receiver only and priced around $99+6(shipping) as per yo2ldk, in my view it would be a good addition to SWLs and HAMs' shack.

Specification:


  • Frequency: 0.1 to 70 MHz
  • Display: 320 x 240 pixels
  • Supported modes: CW, LSB, USB, AM, WFM (Stereo)
  • Sampling frequency: 48 kHz, 192 kHz
  • USB interface: CDC (serial)
  • Power supply: USB 5 V 200 mA

Thoughts:


  1. WFM bellow 86Mhz in my part that is India is not much useful. So it is desired up to 110MHz. But for HAM use if it can cover up to 150MHz then that will be an asset for every HAM on the moov and companion for every SWL.
  2. Should have( I am not sure it has) some mechanism to send raw data to PC for better DSP using GQRX or SDR#
  3. If it can be complemented with any add-on board for TX capability then it would be a great.
