One very nice thing about a headless SDR is that you can install it close to your antenna and run as much ethernet (or fiber) as you need with no loss. In my case, that is a big advantage. Operate from anywhere! Love it.
Heard you in Ohio last night work guy in California. I worked him about 10 minutes before you did he was near Sacramento California NC6R.... Just want to let you know the icom sounds great in Ohio.... Hope the SDR works out for you The 7610 icom is an awesome station though. Love it ..♥️...73...Have fun...😎
Waiting on your video that follows a 7610 vs Sunsdr2 DX video, in that very last video we will watch you pack and ship off the 7610, looking forward to watch both video though.
Hahahaha... I will have these radio at two different QTH. 7610 will be in Florida and SunSDR2 DX at my other location. Thank you for watching and Happy New Year!
@@adriank1apd195 Adrian, no I sold the 101MP and decided to keep the 7610 so that I can remote HF to my Home QTH in Florida. I will bring the SunSDR2 DX to my other QTH to compliment my IC7300. I will use the 7300 primarily for Digital FT8 and the SundSDR2 DX for HF SSB. Happy New Year!
As an environmental scientist studying the long term effects on the planet, I really wish companies would stop putting plastic wrapping on everything. But that aside, thanks for the video. I was looking into the SDR products as well and I liked the looks of the software but the I/O on the radio looks clunky. I get some of those choices for size reasons, but getting a TX ground for amplifier interfacing looks like a big PITA. Other than that and no good way to interface to an external automatic tuner (not that big of a deal for me) it looks like a very capable little SDR with a reasonable cost of like €2200 or something. Looking forward to hearing your impressions of this thing. Thanks for the video cap!
Ok slightly off topic but my wife wants to know what make and pattern is that in your China cabinet ? I think what she’s telling me is that if I get her that pattern - service for 10 - then maybe we could talk about another radio.
Rumors that Flex was going to shut down amateur radio sale and stick to government contracts. If 8nhad tondo it all over again, I would of ordered an Anan.
@@DarrenN4VFR i see-im new to HAM radio and shopping for a good all in one transceiver then I saw the SDR options and I think they are more capable and can be handy if paired with a laptop but power supply would be the issue if going portable which may only happen rarely. I think the Yaesu FT991A is a good fit to tinker with everything vs the FT710 which is limited but wondering if it’s more worth going for the newest one out there. Looks like the ANAN is limited to HF and 6m only
Capt. Darren thank you for your videos. I hope you make more videos on the sunSDR2 dx. I order my self one of this on the 28 of December. But I might have to wait for a bit they where out of stock. How long did it take to get yours? 73"s from K1APD

Love your vids Captain, keep them coming. Looking forward to seeing more about this. All the very best to you and your family for new year. 73 👍
Thank you and Happy New Year!
Congratulations on the new Radio de KD2SXD
Thank you Mike! Enjoy the time with family! 73's and Happy New Years!
@Capt Darren N4VFR Thank you. Happy New Years to you and family as well! 73 brother
Great video, Capt! I hope you have hours and hours of fun with it. - Doug
Me too. I've been too busy flying and not enough time on the air; I meant on HF.
Great content Captain 👌
Thank you Paul!

Oh yeah! I did hear you also, "NO T.V." lol
I'll be monitoring 7178 Khz. Here in Florida, I use the IC7610.

oh yeah I forgot he did ship out the Yaesu FTDX101MP to a new home.
Hahahaha... I will have these radio at two different QTH. 7610 will be in Florida and SunSDR2 DX at my other location. Thank you for watching and Happy New Year!
@@DarrenN4VFR OK, got me, didn't realize you'd be buying a second sdr first.
Happy New Year.

I agree with connectivity from the SunSDR to my Amplifier. I had to order a db15 connector and make my own cable. 73's and Happy New Year!
Nice..............,
You think you can make a video how you hook it up to a external antenna tuner and so on. Please and thank you.
I got a ftdx1200 and an IC-7100. Can i put this sdr stuff on one of my radio. 73 de VA2HET from Quebec Canada

About the China Cabinet, I have no clue. It's my mom's and we picked it up from the goodwill shops last year.
What made you decide to get the SunSDRDx2 vs other ones like the FlexSDR radios??

@Adrian K1APD My order was in stock at Gigaparts. Maybe came in 3 days. I plan on making more videos on the SunSDR2 DX. 73's and Happy New Year!
@@DarrenN4VFR thanks looking forward to the videos happy new years and 73s
