I own an SDR-IQ software defined radio, a Funcube Dongle (more on that later) and have built a marginally operable Softrock Lite receiver, so you might say I’m interested in Software Defined Radios. But Jeri’s tinkering with her own software defined radio has rekindled my interest in homebrewing one. I was looking for Gerald Youngblood’s (AC50G) QEX article series entitled “A Software Defined Radio for the Masses”) and found that one good place to find it (and many other interesting articles) was unsurprisingly on the ARRL’s website.

Jeri also pointed me at a an awesome presentation by Dan Tayloe, N7VE entitled “Very High Performance Image Rejecting Direct Conversion Receivers” that has lots of information that go well beyond my current understanding of receiver design and performance. Good reading, which will hopefully turn into a good project.
