An idea popped in my head this morning, but is it already being done? The idea, Custom-Made SDR TX / RX featuring. Meaning??? YOU, request the spec's and features that you want, and voila, end result is a rig to YOUR spec's, features, and standards. At this point, I figured that AI could calculate and write the software. Yeah, the hardware would have to be custom as well, for FREQ ranges, RX-only, TX / RX capabilities, etc. However, I don't see why it can't be done today. But, is it already??? Case in point... That Xiegu G90 is nice, for what it is, especially at its price range. However, there are features that could be way better, like wide-range AGC control, and not just three settings, wide-range NB setting that actually are effective, audio FREQ range settings, TX / RX EQ settings, compressor range settings, FM deviation and AM MOD MIN / MAX settings, wide-range A/D modulation settings, like FM standard MPX stereo, FM SCA decoding, TV analog MTS stereo, SAP decoding, AM various stereo decoding, C-QUAM, Kahn, Harris, Magnavox, etc., various analog VID decoding, NTSC, PAL, SECAM, digital ATSC 1.0 & 3.0, COFDM. The various print text modes, CW, FT's, AMTOR, RTTY, packet, FAX, etc. Heck, even custom Spread-Spectrum modes. Digital voice modes, of choices, P-25, D-Star, C4FM, DMR. Yeah, KIWI-SDR comes close, and government agencies most likely have these capabilities. And, the abilities to upgrade software & hardware. Oh, then there's Noise Reduction capabilities and various display settings. Today, someone has got to have the ability to put together such a custom type rig at our level. I suspect that I'm late to contemplate this. I wouldn't be good at the setup of such a rig, especially software-wise, but I'd love to be an end-user.
