[A-DX] RFSPACE netSDR

[Michael Oexner <michael.oexner@xxxxxx>]

Hallo zusammen,


RFSPACE hat die Webseite <http://www.rfspace.com/RFSPACE/netSDR.html>
aktualisiert und nennt dort einen ungefähren Preis von US-$ 1400 und
Verfügbarkeit in Q4/2010.

"The NetSDR radio is a very high performance networked SDR. It offers
the ultimate versatility for scientific research, radio astronomy,
shortwave listening and amateur radio. The NetSDR uses a high
performance 80 MHz, 14 bit ADC with both dithering and randomization for
best performance. The output I/Q bandwidth is configurable via software.
PC communications are handled over a 100 base-T port using 24 or 16 bit
I/Q words.

The NetSDR is a complete plug and play solution. As opposed to other
SDRs in the market, there is no need for additional preamplifiers,
preselectors or code development. The unit ships with a copy of
Moetronix SpectraVue software and a copy of SDR-Radio that will have you
up and running in minutes. The software includes analog and digital mode
demodulation and I/Q capture of spectrum at up to a 1.54MS/s sample
rate. The SDR-Radio software allows the use of the NetSDR over the
internet. The full 1.3 MHz waterfall and demodulation audio can be
transported via a 5 KB/s link. For those interested in writing their own
applications, RFSPACE supplies a fully documented protocol for
communicating with the hardware. There is no need to calculate the
downconverter DSP parameters. The NetSDR just needs the center
frequency, attenuator and preselector filter settings, output sample
rate and mode to begin streaming data. Other solutions require
complicated USB interfacing that is platform specific. The NetSDR
utilizes straight TCP/IP and ethernet for all communications. This
offers the highest possible performance due to the highly optimized
ethernet drivers on PC, Mac and Linux systems.

The NetSDR packets are fully routable. This means that the receiver can
be placed at remote locations. Multiple receivers can also be combined
and it?s data transported over a higher data rate ethernet pipe using
simple switches and routers. In this application, each NetSDR can be set
to a different IP address or port. Multiple receivers using this
architecture offer the greatest performance and versatility."
