8 SDR Transceiver on the Cheap
SDR Transceiver Issues SDR Radio go from $1100 and up Many while technically SDR are still stand alone transceivers. Most have closed software, if the company goes under then you won’t get any upgrades

9 SDR Receivers SDRPlay RSP1A/RSP2 are really good receivers. My RSP2 has better ears than my Flex 3000. Even RTL with a “Ham It Up” up converter can provide some features. Many others are out there.

10 Solution Share you traditional radio with your SDR.
WARNING – Antenna Switches are not Transmitter Switches. It will fry your SDR Receiver. Transmitter switch MFJ-1708SDR for example.

11 Solution OmniRig to keep your radios in sync
SDRUno supports OmniRig as does many software packages. However N3FJP software currently doesn’t support OmniRig HRCP and HamBus is currently being developed by OmniRig author Alex VE3NEA and some guy known as WA1GON which address some issues.

12 Conclusion Hybrid solution is very affordable
Low cost SDR Receivers have good ears for the cost.
