This new radio will fit quite nicely into the lid
(foam accessory area) of the OSCOR so you can buy
one to permanently hardwire into each of the
OSCOR output ports for a total of three radios all in the foam lid.

The introductory price is $375 per radio, so for
something around $1000 you can have all three ports live at all times.

  Introducing the most advanced "All Digital, All Mode, Plug & Play" receiver


The SDR-IQ™ Software Defined Receiver and Panoramic Adapter

500 Hz to 30 MHz FREQUENCY COVERAGE
AM, WFM, USB, LSB, N-FM, DSB, CW & More

The SDR-IQ™ with RF DSP™ offers unprecedented
performance with a frequency coverage of
500 Hz to 30 MHz in 1 Hz steps. It features the
fastest and highest resolution plug and play
spectrum display available. The SDR-IQ™ comes
with the latest version of SpectraVue™
software. It supports AM, WFM, USB, LSB, N-FM,
DSB and CW with fully adjustable DSP Filter
bandwidths and FFT sizes of 2048 to 262144
points. The resolution bandwidth is as low as 0.031 Hz.

Uses:

• Very High performance HF Receiver with 190 KHz realtime Panoramic Adapter
• Ultrasound experimentation (Sonar, Underwater
ultrasound, Bat and Insect detectors)
• IR (Infrared) subcarrier detection and communications
• Record up to 190 KHz of spectrum to hardrive
for later playback and demodulation
• Panoramic adapter for Communication Receivers
(any IF in HF band 455 KHz, 8.83 MHz, 10.7 MHz, 21.4 MHz, etc)
• Very Low Frequency (VLF) Studies
• Spectrum Analyzer backends
• Processor for Radio Astronomy receivers


Features:

• Smallest SDR with RF DSP™ that samples the
whole HF band at once and performs the initial filtering at 67 MHz
    sample rate with 23 bit accuracy. Uses a high
performance Analog Devices 14 bit analog to digital converter.
• Sends 16 bits of I/Q Data to the PC via USB. No
messy soundcard cables required.
• SDR-IQ is USB powered. No power supply is
required. Works great with laptops running on batteries.
• Small size of 3.75 x 3.75 inches.
• Incredible receive performance.
• High resolution spectrum display with higher
resolution and speed than those in $10K radios.
• RF preselection filters for great IMD performance.
• Serial port to directly interface with radios
like the Icom IC-R8500, IC-R9000, IC-R9500, IC-R7000, IC-R7100 and
    AOR AR-5000.
• 50 ohm RF input that can be easily interfaced
to antennas, Ultrasonic transducers, IR detectors, and other RF
    equipment.
• Open source firmware and programming tools.
• Open source ActiveX control and ActiveX sample
program for easy software customization. SpectraVue (not
    open source).
• Windows, Linux and Mac OS drivers for developers.
• Network server that allows remoting of the
SDR-IQ™. Servers available for both Windows and Linux.
• Adds the best panoramic display features to
transceivers like the Yaesu FT1000, FT2000, FT9000 using the RX
    output connector.
