Excellent radio
Review by
StevefromOhio
Recently Purchased the Expert Electronics SunSDR2 DX replacing a Yaesu DX10. The DX10 is very nice but the tuning is absent from the mouse wheel and other shortcomings caused me to look at other radios.
The SDR2 DX caught my eye and so I ordered one.
Glad I did.
One click tuning and the ability of the mouse wheel to tune makes me very happy. Receive performance makes me very happy. I am getting excellent audio reports.
There are things you should know before buying one. You need a computer (a good one) in order to use this radio. There are no knobs or dials. You should be able to change settings in your OS to use this radio. You need to have some patience as this radio is a learning experience with a learning curve. It is fun but it is a challenge.
I did not order the cable that is needed to run an external amplifier so don't forget to do that. I did order one and now everything is good.
The radio does not come with a microphone. I had a Heil Pro 7 headset with the Yaesu plug so that worked out well. Note: there is a small amount of latency in SSB and CW. I then set up an XLR mic with a mixer and I pre-monitor my microphone before it goes into the radio so latency becomes not an issue.
Software is pretty simple to use. I am still learning settings but as time goes on, I am sure that I will master this radio.
Read the online instruction book and try everything. You pretty much cannot brick this radio. So far the Expert Electronics SunSDR2 DX is a blast. I've had a lot of radios....and this one pretty much tops them all in my opinion.

Can not believe how wonderful it is to Operate this radio
Review by
Donald
The software shipped with this radio is amazing. I own a Flexradio 6600 and at the time, I was eyeing the Sun but went with the Flex. Don't get me wrong, I like the Flex and SmartSDR but Expert Electronics has put a lot of work into some amazingly well thought out software. If you have not seen it, look at the TCI interface and watch some of N8SDR's videos on the interface. Connecting loggers, digital software and CW skimmers is an absolute breeze. Can not say enough good things about this radio. The only thing the Flex has over this radio at this point is the amount antennas that can connect to the radio which I do use. Looking forward to operating it for years to come.

I love my SunSDR2dx it is Best SDR Radio Available
Review by
K5WSW in Euless, TX
I own a Flex 6300 for many years and after using the SunSDR2dx for several weeks, I love it more than my Flex SDR radio. It outperformed my Flex 6300 SDR in every way. The SunSDR2dx is not a plug and play like the Flex SDR. It also does not have USB or serial ports that you can see because they are all virtual connections. I was able to use my SteppIR SDA-100 and my Hy-Gain DCU-3 and also have Ham Radio Deluxe running with no problem. You can see it in my Ham shack at qrz.com/db/K5WSW
