The PSDR got 7th place in the second round of comunity voting!! Thanks everyone! All this positive feedback really helps keep me motivated! (Don't suppose I'll have much of a chance in the "Most Outrageous Component" round.... though technically this thing uses the ionosphere of the entire planet to connect to other radios.... I think that should count)

Here's a very dark video (sorry, my headlamp was dying) of the PSDR on a family reunion camping trip this weekend. It was my first time running it outdoors. Basically I'm showing off some improvements to the interface and waterfall display. I've since made additional improvements, please direct your attention to the new project photo and you'll see what I mean. Not audible in the video is some improvements to the audio, as well as AM decoding.

Notice: To those of you that wanted PCBs, they'll go out this week. I think I'm still waiting on two addresses! Make haste!

Oh, one more thing. If you have comments, consider leaving them on the main page, I don't get any notifications when people make comments on the project update pages. (Hopefully that will be fixed at some point, Overlords?)
