[time-nuts] SDR Radio Opinion- Next Question... (Burt I. Weiner)

[Dan Kemppainen]

I don't think the state of the art is exceeding the need. Because by
nature that is part of what ham radio is. Experimentation is part of the
game.

Nothing wrong with appliance operators, if one chooses to be that. There
are plenty of appliance radios out there. SDR just may not be there yet.
Of course, lots of the 'modern' radios include technology that was once
state of the art, and had problems at.

As for time-nuts and radio, I think SDR is a great place to tie them
together.
