Setting up an assembled PMSDR
Franco asked my help to setup the Winrad software, having just finished to assemble the PMSDR Kit.
This SDR comes in a disassembled kit, and is very small as you can see from the picture. It is connected to the PC via USB for remote control and via the PC soundcard for the audio output while Antenna of course use a standard BNC socket.
Well, I’ve been quite surprised of this toy, since it really works with the 5 volts coming from the USB and is capable of nice filtering capabilities and quick tuning.
We have ecountered some troubles on Winrad setup, even if we have opted for the more clean design on WinradHD.
For those of you that do not know, both software are free windows programs that “define… radio”, the first one is provided to the community by an italian ham I2PHD who also released the code for free, while the second is a remake of the original Winrad by DG0JBJ.
There are many SDR Software on the net, and and increasing number of SDR manufacturers offering interesting products
