WIth my new technician license, I'm intrigued to get into several areas
one is the low power QRP using CW code....so I've been looking at some of the older heathkit HW-8's on eBay etc...and also at the elecraft K1 radios..
.Also looking to get some free software on the PC to decode the CW transmission ( until I can learn morse code ). Any recommendations ?
Is it legal to have software encode the text, for transmission ?
Othe area I'm curious about is the area of PC based, software based Radios,,,on the idea of plug in boards into a PC, that become the radio, rather than a seperate transceiver....
Anyone have any experience with the GNU Radio ?
