Cq Reviews: flexradio Systems Flex-5000a Software Defined Radio Transceiver

摘要

FlexRadio's FLEX-5000 is a very different kind of radio, not only in its engineering as a fully software-defined radio, but also in the mindset of its developers, who have made the software open-source and invite users to write their own improvements and additions, many of which become part of the next "official" software release. The job of reviewing the FlexRadio Systems FLEX-5000A was both a delightful and challenging experience! My biggest challenge, however, was sorting out what to review: the hardware; the PowerSDR~(TM) software; the entire system, which includes the computer, monitor, etc.; or the operating experience.
