What's a decent mid priced SDR for LW/MW/HF?

<< < (5/5)

Andrew Yoder:
Has anyone used the Andrus MK1.5? Looks like an interesting SDR to my untrained eye:

New to the board but not the hobby.  ;D

Agree with Token re Winradio Excalibur.  I have had one for about 3 years and have never had a radio pass through my shack that could best the Excalibur on weak signal retrieval.  Equal it sometimes, maybe but never beat it.  That includes Drake R-8, JRC-535, Icom R75, Yaesu FT-1000MP, Icom 756Pro3, Kenwood TS-940, Drake R7.  I'm not saying there aren't any out there that could (maybe a vintage Racal or WJ or a state-of-the-art transceiver) just that I haven't had one in my shack in the 3 years I have owned the Excalibur.  Now as far as audio goes, I have it running through a 31 band EQ into a pretty good Yamaha receiver and a very good soundcard.   My other hobby is high-end audio so I think I have a pretty good ear and believe I have gotten out most of the digital artifacts from the Excalibur.  That being said it's still sounds slightly digitally like an older generation CD player and not the equal of the best analog radios.
