  Links to Software Defined Radios (SDRs)

This page is dedicated to Software-definined radios.
With the introduction of the Perseus at the end of 2007 new ways of frequency observation became available to SWLs, DXers and radio amateurs.
Visual control by spectrum and sonagramm informs about activities aside of the tuned frequency, broadband recordings allow time shifted listening.
The links below will cover Hard- and Software, as well as information sources regarding SDRs.

Introductions can be found here:

      Map based Online Logging:
Near realtime displays of logs on a world map. See what others hear. Let others see what you are receiving.

Three choices exist so far. The first one is managed by Günter Lorenz. The combination of Perseus and Perseus Databases offers logging by just one mouseclick. A log will be created automatically that includes frequency, date, time, choosed modulation and signal strength.
More than 26,000 datasets of MWList, the Tropical Band List (TBL) and a NDB list support this functionality. It has never been easier to create and maintain a log book!

>SWL Log-Map, based on MWLIST by Günter Lorenz and the Tropical Band List.
>Register at MWList for Online Logging! Further help on page 1 of the Perseus Databases.


Three other lists are reflecting digital modes of amateur radio:
>PSK Logs, automatic logging with Ham Radio Deluxe / DM780.
>WSPR Logs
>D-Star users (Digital Voice)
