FlexRadio’s Stephen Hicks N5AC hits EIGHT important topics related to the Flex radios in this talk from the 2015 ARRL and TAPR Digital Communications Conference in Chicago. You’ll learn some fairly advanced concepts about SDR… and he’ll bust a myth that some hams have delighted in propagating.
FlexRadio sponsored this episode so that we could complete it and put it on line quickly. The rest of the DCC episodes will be presented more or less in the order they appeared at the conference, beginning in early November (if all goes according to plan… which it never does).
