DESCRIPTION:Amateur Radio or “HAM” transceivers have typically been lar
 ge rectangular boxes with a myriad switches\, knobs and meters. With the a
 dvent of digital signal processing and other technology available today\, 
 the functions of yesteryear’s Ham radios can be handled digitally includ
 ing the display and controls. Software Defined Radios eliminate the bulk a
 nd weight of traditional transceivers. Some SDR’s are connected to the i
 nternet and perform the receive function available to all including those 
 without a license due to the “receive only” functionality. Some SDR tr
 ansceivers are also available over the internet and allow the licensed ope
 rator to remotely control the functions of the radio from anywhere they ha
 ve an internet connection. This presentation describes the concept of the 
 Software Defined Radio and the application in HAM radio. He will show what
  they look like in comparison to traditional equipment and will demonstrat
 e the functions of both a receiver as well as a transceiver. There is even
  a phone app that acts as an SDR for licensed users!\n\nSpeaker(s): Phil B
