SDR radio : which radio to choose, and where to find it ?

 

                                                                                      

ready to use : FLEX with the new Flex 1500 at a very competitive price - Flex is also the designer of the main softwares used with SDR (PowerSDR) and has let one of the sources free of use for ham radio.
 
kits :
The famous US Softrock with  MOBO mother card or without - see also usefull parts on QRPprojects  and HFprojects for amplifiers and filters.
The TX/RX kits are  offered by KB9YIG ( now difficult to order as too many people interested..) This 6.3 release is not more produced, but replaced by the RX/TX ensemble. So the MOBO team has begun to develop and will provid soon a clone of the 6,3 TX/RX. See this google group  to order the 6.3ng  - Read also TF3LJ .
A few "widgets" are offered to improved the use of these kits, by G. Boudreau (sdr-widget) or Christos SV1EIA (USB2SDR) 
 
see also 
A german kit FA-SDR-TRX, also a one card clone of the 6,3 TX/RX re-design  by DL2EWN and for sale as a complete kit on FunkAmateur, including a small 1W amp and a nice small box, described by TObias DH1TW. Documentation is unfortunatly written in Deutch only ! I just built one kit, easy to do as most of the smt are already installed, and with experience of the softrock, i didn't need to translate all the documentation. I recommend to people who read deutch or who has experience of another SDR system.
 
A few HF australian kits GENESIS Radio  , several monoband units, and a new multiband TX/RX coming soon, all without cms components.
 
Another good design made by Dave WB6DHW defined to work up to 700 Mhz
 
Another SDR concept with digital I/Q  OPENHPSDR project sold as kits or assembled by TAPR 
A french SDR  the TRANSFOX from sigfox-system sold by RFHam
 
An interesting kit from PA0KLT  : a standalone Synthetiser from 3,5 to 945 MHz
