Hi Ed,
The problem seems to be that my radio covers 6m.
If it stopped at 30 MHz, I believe Scott could sell it without Type
Approval.
The LD-11 is the predecessor of the SKY-SDR. The LD-5 was the first
generation, the LD-11 the second generation and the SKY is the 3rd
generation.
Actually the SKY looks more like the original LD-5. That was by choice. I
was afraid red might turn some people off, plus the light color does not
show scratches as much. And, I found the square buttons larger and easier
to use than the round ones.
The real difference is the structure of the software. The LD-5 and LD-11
have single-threaded software, whereas the SKY-SDR has dual threaded
software. This has cut CPU latency in half.
Since switching to dual-threaded, all further development in the firmware
has been with the dual-threaded software and can't be used with the
single-threaded software.
I had several changes made to the design before I launched and even
recently. These include louder side-tone, more speaker volume, and a 10dB
mic preamp added. I didn't like the LD-11 knobs so they designed new ones
for my radio.
The LD-11 is an outstanding radio (except for its user manual). If anyone
buys one new or used, download the user manual for the SKY-SDR. The radios
are similar and after reading the manual I wrote, LD-11 users understand how
to use all the features on their radio.

I am very sad to hear this. BTW, what is the difference between your rig
and the LNR LD-11? They appear to be very similar and at least it is
available in US.
Thank you.
