V6 ECO 150XA suitable as a HAM radio?
Quote from IU2THY on 10/10/2024, 08:08Apologies if this is more a software question, but would the V6 ECO be suitable as a high end HAM radio rig?
the terms "real time spectrum analyser" and "I/Q vector generator" threw me a bit, so I'm not quite sure what to expect. In short, using transmit capable software like SDRAngel or SDR-Console, would I be able to use the Spectran as a "simple" voice receiver / transmitter?
If so, looking at the specs, it would blow most other "pro-sumer level" radios out of the water. Can the V6 ECO be a replacement for both a Flexradio and a Siglent spectrum analyser at the same time? What am I missing?

Just out of curiosity, for general ham use, do I need the Pre-Amp option?

It looks like software options are geared towards enterprise/government use and way out of my price range.
