#148: Software Defined Radio kit | Tutorial | Build | Test | Softrock Lite II

This video shows the build and test of a Softrock Lite II software defined radio (SDR) kit. A short tutorial is given on each sub-circuit as it is being built and systematically tested. Details of the assembly process are shown, as well as live test results. The completed kit is then hooked up to a dipole antenna and a PC, and some CW signals are demodulated off the air.
