Thanks everyone for the input. I am not going to buy a flex radio or anything like that. I am going to get a softrocks kit and have someone build it for me. I will probably write the control software, if I can find the modules for the filters and the spectrum display.
I will keep you informed.
Thanks,
Clarence
