Think about it Elad sells you a complete package for 500 dollars. The HW they designed and the software they wrote for it. ie: FDM-SW2
SDRPlay should be able to do the same thing, they developed the hardware, they should develop the software. This was one reason I never thought of buying the SDRplay, It makes no sense to pay money for hardware if it does not ship with the software developed by the hardware maker to begin with.
What sold me on the FDM-S2 was the great software custom made for the FDM-S2 hardware. Same thing with Airspy, the hardware developer spent time and money to write the software for his product.
SDRPlay should follow the same route, write the software for your product and provide the complete HW/SW package.
SDR# is not open source, its primarily the platform for the Airspy hw he sells. I do not understand why people are angry about it. Software takes lots of time and money to make and produce. Think about it what if you spent 4 years writing software so you can earn a living selling a product and then your competitor uses your software to sell a competing product would you be happy about that? Software is where the magic happens, HW is useless without good software.
