The application which runs an SDR is your interface to all of the radio’s capabilities. Within a mere five minutes, I had the TitanSDR installed and on the air. Fortunately, the installation manual walks you through the process, which is actually quite simple. Not purely a plug-and-play device, the TitanSDR requires a proper three-step installation. The TitanSDR ships in a box with the following components: the Titan SDR “black box” receiver, a TitanSDR installation DVD, a printed installation manual, a USB memory stick with a license key, USB cable with chokes on both ends, and a separate regulated power supply. The TitanSDR and I were in sync almost before I knew it, hinting favorably about an accessible user interface. And the TitanSDR seemed especially daunting: since it’s designed for heavy, full-duty, multi-channel SIGNET and military use, I expected to need a at least a few days to both install the device and, more significantly, to learn the ropes of the application which drives the SDR.įortunately, my fears were unfounded. While I’m fairly well versed in what to expect of an SDR application, the learning curve (and sometimes even installation curve) can be formidable. Even though I love SDRs, I always find myself hesitating slightly when it comes to writing a review of one––simply because, when compared with tabletop and portable radios, SDRs tend to be so very complex.
