Dear VU2PTT
Excellent idea. I have bought one Ensemble kit and am halfway through the process. I am following the process of building each stage and testing it as I go along.
Will post the results here once they are ready. Agree with your view on multibanding /switched.
There have been discussions that we should find a way to try the SDR2GO as another model to avoid the use of the PC.
What are your thoughts on a stand-alone SDR?
I am also in favour of avoiding too much FOREX outflow :-) The Dollar is much more dearer. Components should be easily sourced in VU land/Eastern world?
Toroids etc we can see alternatives.
Will keep posting once a direction is established.
Kind regards
Ravi Miranda
