Software Defined Radio (or SDR) is one of those things that I never knew existed as I was getting into the radio hobby.  After learning about it, it's one of the coolest radios in my humble communications arsenal.

In this video I want to introduce you to SDR, and share just the slightest glimpse of what it has to offer in the hope that it inspires others to get into it and learn more.
