Greetings,
I'm new to this SDR "thing" but would like to try it cheaply and safely. I have some general questions about the RXTX Ensemble:
1) I've seen it referred to as being 2 watts but the web site says 1 watt. Please clarify.
2) None of my computers have a stereo I/O. I guess I could purchase a card for my main computer but would really prefer to use one of my laptops. I'm told that there is a box that converts a USB port to stereo I/O. Does anyone have experience with this method?
3) Is the RXTX Ensemble capable of using the weak signal protocols such as from WSJT?
40 What band grouping do you recommend? I'm thinking 40-30-20 given the sunspot cycle and the size of my back yard - simple vertical with lots of radials.
Thanks for your help,
Dan K8XW
