I have a couple receivers that I'm trying not to sell and go full on SDR. I discovered that I still may be able to use them using an SDR as a panadapter.
After looking at the available SDRs and their GUI's I think I have settled on the ELAD S1.
I have a AOR AR5000 that goes up to 2.6Ghz but the ELAD S1 only goes up to 30Mhz. So my first question is do I have to use a SDR that matches or exceeds the AR5000 freq range in order to use it or will it cut off at the ELADs max at 30Mhz?
My second question is in the panadapter configuration is the receiver just acting as a passthrough for the signal and the SDR (or PC) is doing the processing or is the SDR the passthrough? I'm just curious if the signal from the AR5000 would still get the benefit of DSP.
thanks
