Many SDR enthusiasts have waited for this next step; even in Preview form, Version 3 has performed nearly as well as a production release in many ways.<\/p>\n<p>I have briefly used SDR-Console (V2 and V3) off and on for a few years, but it wasn&#8217;t until acquiring AirSpy HF+ receivers that I took a serious plunge into V3. Now that I&#8217;ve gone through its modest learning curve, I like this SDR software quite a bit!<\/p>\n<p>There are many things I enjoy about SDR-Console, not the least is the power and ease of use of the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sdr-radio.com\/Console\/RecPlayback\/Scheduler\">Recording Scheduler<\/a><\/strong>, a feature that&#8217;s important to medium wave DXers. I&#8217;m sure others who like to set up unattended WAV I\/Q recordings for later review benefit from this also.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve not found a list of improvements between Preview and Beta 1, but I suspect Simon has made the upgrade because the Preview has shown itself to be quite stable already. He did publish a list of a few known bugs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>External Radio using IF output does not work.<\/li>\n<li>Remote Server using the SDR-IQ has stutter.<\/li>\n<li>Kits are not signed &#8211; a code signing certificate has been purchased from Comodo but is not yet available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Simon indicates that these bugs will be worked on in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>If you use and benefit from SDR-Console software, please considering support the development efforts through a PayPal donation.
