\"TitanSDR-VOG\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last year, I reviewed the TitanSDR Pro<\/a> by the Italian manufacturer, Enablia<\/a>,. I\u00a0was very<\/em> impressed with not only this receiver’s performance, but also its accompanying\u00a0application’s user interface. I also noted in the review that the TitanSDR is pricier than many other benchmark SDRs on the market ($1380-1970 EUR) but it is, after all, essentially a military-grade\u00a0SDR that has been ported to the enthusiast\/ham radio market.<\/p>\n

I’ve been using and testing updates to\u00a0theTitanSDR Pro for a year now, and I continue to be just as impressed with this\u00a0receiver\u2013\u2013and, especially, with the company who manufactures it,\u00a0Enablia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"TitanSDRPro-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wondered at the time of my initial review how supportive Enablia might turn out to be; I knew time would tell. \u00a0Since my original review last year, Enablia has been regularly<\/em> updating the TitanSDR application, adding many features requested by its users. \u00a0This shows\u00a0a remarkable degree of responsiveness, and I now feel safe to say that that Enablia is an exceptional manufacturer with an exceptional\u00a0product.<\/p>\n

Only recently, I received an update which added two notch filters per narrowband channel, memories that retain AGC and notch filters settings, and sessions that retain AGC settings. I understand Enablia is\u00a0also preparing updates that improve upon memory management, user interface, audio defaults, as well as offering\u00a0a few tweaks to the existing feature set.<\/p>\n

Overall, Enablia developers are certainly making this signal intelligence SDR\u00a0cater to the ham radio and enthusiast market even better than before.<\/p>\n

Though I use a number of SDRs, I reach for the TitanSDR any time there are multiple-band openings since it can record spectrum and audio across the entire LW\/MW\/SW landscape.\u00a0Unlike my other SDRs, it’s not limited to an (already generous) \u00a02-6 MHz recording\/listening window.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0example, on Thursday night I had a lot on my listening\/recording plate as there were a number of\u00a0band openings.\u00a0I had the TitanSDR tuned to:<\/p>\n
