 The idea of ​​SDR transceivers (software defined radio) is that we can go to the radio operating with a computer

It's like a radio transceiver that need a PC to run, we use a free software to change the frequency within the selected range

You have to know enough of electronic welding, because you have to solder SMD (or SMT) components, which are tiny

My technician is helping me a friend who is very good at this, (for a small fee, but I think worth it)

The assembly instructions are step by step here:

make sure you choose the right band before browse welded components

We can choose to solder the components in different ways, according to the frequency band in which we want to operate

In my case I chose the shorter wavelength because I want to build a Mark IV (though I have not even read the entire manual, I think it is the most affordable model of building)
