Why I Don’t Want an SDR Ham Radio

Modern SDR radios are extraordinary pieces of engineering – and in the right environment, they absolutely shine.
But this video isn’t about specs, rankings, or what’s “best on paper”. It’s about how we listen.
After a recent video on upgrading "radio versus antenna", some fascinating comments prompted me to step back and reflect on something deeper: why, despite all the advances in SDR technology, I still prefer an older high-end analogue-based radio in a quiet location.
In this video I talk about:
Quiet QTHs versus high-noise environments
Why SDR radios can’t invent signal that didn’t arrive at the antenna
Where DSP helps – and where it can get in the way
Assembling callsigns from fragments in real pile-ups
Stable noise, operator focus, and long-term listening fatigue
Why trained ears sometimes outperform algorithms
This is not anti-SDR. It’s about understanding the trade-offs, the role of the operator, and why different radios suit different people and locations.
The best radio isn’t the one at the top of a list. It’s the one that lets you hear best.
Merry Christmas - and enjoy your radio.
