Alinco SR8t

Good price on the SR8T now that the SR9T is out.

I am curious about the SR9T's SDR capabilities.

 

[w9cll]

I haven't read much about it.

Not a lot of detail about it. I found the software for it but that's about it. No details on SDR settings or functions.

I'm guessing its an SR8 with new firmware and a few hardware bits. The R8 (receiver only) had a built in IQ output. That's probably been carried over to the transceiver model now.

One could probably home brew the IQ output on the SR8.

The SR9 has been out for quite a while now, looks basically like a SR8 with the "SDR" capabilities of the R8, as mentioned. From what I've read, the SDR capabilities are rather rudimentary, interesting to play with, but not really much to write home about. Only really gives you a waterfall on Rx, and some limited DSP filtering. If you want to really get into SDR, get a FlexRadio or something.
