FlexRadio Systems FLEX-6300 Transceiver, FLEX-6700 Transceiver, and SmartSDR for Windows Software

摘要

This review looks at the FLEX-6300 and FLEX-6700 software defined transceivers. Along with the FLEX-6500 and the receive-only FLEX-6700R models (not reviewed here), they are the first products in the FlexRadio Systems 6000 Signature Series. Unlike more traditional Amateur Radio gear, these software defined radio (SDR) products from FlexRadio are highly integrated with an advanced software product, SmartSDR for Windows (SmartSDR). SmartSDR needs to run on a Windows-based personal computer (PC) that must be supplied by the user. (See the section titled, "Choosing Your Computer" later in this review.) SmartSDR is under continuous development at FlexRadio, adding features and fixing bugs in software releases several times a year.
