Re: Letter: For DX With SDRs, It’s Not the Same As It Was? OK, my take.

True, when you use your own radio, then that's your unique perspective, the stations you can hear from your own location, not a centralized radio, I can see that. Your own radio is your choice to be independent, not relying on an on line radio that could be gone tomorrow..

On a personal level, SDR has brought me back into listening again, the frequency coverage and quality of them can blow the pants off of anything I got on my radios, like the DX-440, especially when you consider high end extras like continuously variable bandwidth, sideband selection, and the ability to view the signal on the waterfall, seeing how wide it is or what sideband to use, and that start recording at any time, that's sweet!
