Guys,
My 2 cents. Actually, the SDR-1000 competes with the K2, OMNI-VI,
and similar radios in its price class. It is about equal in
performance, some things a little better, some not as good. I have a
K2/100 and an OMNI-VI as well as a SDR-1000 and I have compared them
A to B. The SDR-X is being designed to compete with the top of the
line models like the Orion, IC7800 etc, and will be priced
accordingly. The SDR-1000 hardware imposes some limitations like
full QSK that all the software in the world will not fix. No so for
the SDR-X. The SDR-X probably will be have startup software not too
far removed from the SDR-1000, but will go up from there.
