You didn't write the reviews, so why are you getting bent out of shape?

And I've posted SDR purchasing advice many times already.


And just to clarify - the review page is, IMO, lame. It reads to me like "These are the SDRs I own - all others don't exist."

"Lame" did not refer to your linking to that page, but I can see how it could/would appear that way, so for that I apologize.

Truth be told, the site doesn't offer much "good information" (promoting one brand of SDR only as best) and would serve to confuse those starting out with radio communications (cw transceivers, cb radios, amateur radios etc.) - however, appreciate all posts from RR forum members...

I'm not bent out of shape, maybe just a little grumpy from no sleep. It's sometimes difficult to interpret where someone is coming from when reading posts in forums.

The page (and the rest of the site) seem to be a vehicle for collecting revenue from referral to a well known online retailer.

" The full wife band radio has an antenna balun and a connector "

He/she has highlighted some radio coverage that seems to be missing from the specs of all of those I have here

Perhaps refile under - sites not to go to for information about daft questions about what is 'the best' of anything.
Finding it and highlighting it here serves a useful purpose even not quite what you originally envisioned

That review seems to cover only the low-end of SDR receivers (HackRF One excepted), completely skipping the mid-range.
