I'm offering a new SDR, inspired by the Softrock-40 but with some significant improvements. Instead of a crystal LO, it uses two Analog Devices DDS chips, and has 5 selectable preselector filters. It also features USB control.

Bob N4NY brings news on the new Flex 1500 QRP SDR Transceiver, he writes:

The Flex 1500 will soon be available. The first one has rolled off prototype line and you can see it (in operation) at the Orlando Hamcation if you are going (this weekend).

It is a BCB through 54 MHz 5 watt TRANSCEIVER with control, etc. run via the USB 2.0 connection. If it were not for the 5 watt amplifier, it would power itself completely from the USB 2.0 cable.

It will be run by PowerSDR 2.0 (soon to be released).
It comes with full support for CAT and 3rd party digital programs without the use of cables (both supported virtually).

The cost is $580 for the time being.
