The SunSDR2 and SunSDR-MB1 transceivers – Software Defined Radios?
Expert Electronics newest radio is the completely autonomous SDR (Software Defined Radio) DUC/DDC. The Russian made SunSDR2 transceiver with the newest ExpertSDR2 software and SDR-control panel E-Coder is going to be introduced at the Ham Radio 2014 in Friedrichshafen in 27 – 29 June. This was first announced at the Mykop 2013 Hamfest for the first time. The concept of Stand Alone or Software Based radios is not new, but this is an interesting step.

You right it does look very interesting and I think very nice looking. Now if the price is not outrages it just might get a good following and take off…
I BET BETWEEN 4000 AND 5000 USD

The target price is US$ 4300, and another US$ 200 for the ATU, but I’m afraid it will be closer to US$ 6000 once they add all manufacturing + distribution costs and realize their huge market advantage over the ancient-technology competition from Icom/Kenwood/Yaesu. I’ve gathered all the info I could find on it here:
