What is SDR?
SDR = Software Defined Radio No knobs needed just a mouse,
keyboard, computer, monitor, … All demodulation performed by
software, including mixing, filters, NB, NR, ANF etc.
Software can run inside the hardware (example ADAT 200) but today we’re concentrating on SDR with software running on Windows systems

Computer Requirement
Any i3 / i5 / i7 is suitable Floating point support very
important Works with the Intel ATOM but
bandwidth is restricted due to the poorer floating point performance
Onboard graphics OK, dedicated graphics card can help
The more monitors the merrier!

IQ AnalysisMW DXing
882kHz, medium wave, October 4th / 5th 2011
Here we have a displayed bandwidth of 30Hz over 18 hours starting in the afternoon and ending in the morning of the next day, so we see signals as they fade in and then fade out in the morning.
The carrier serves as a signature: those who really know what they are doing can identify the type of transmitter and by applying logic which station is which!
