Built SoftRock RX Ensemble II HF Receiver

I ordered the Ensemble II HF receiver around 2 weeks ago. I was very impressed with the delivery time. Took just a few days to get to me and Tony makes sure you get exactly what you ordered.

I am fairly new to SWL reception and found this unit was very easy to plug in and get running. Tony's website led me to some great SDR info that I looked at before ordering and, thanks to all the great links, I decided to take the plunge.

This is a great unit to get started in SDR! Tony's site provided lots of links to make sure new SDR users get a good start. I have had the Ensemble 2 HF receiver for almost a week now and getting great reception on SW and SSB. This unit, coupled with the HDSDR program, is giving me great results. I only have a short "long wire" (maybe 30 feet) connected to my 9-1 balun (for 50 ohms input to radio), and getting excellent reception in Thunder Bay, Canada. I am really enjoying 20 meter SSB, as well as lots of shortwave broadcast stations!

Thanks to Tony Parks for an excellent product that works very well for a newbie SWL hobbiest.

If you have any interest in SDR, get this unit. You won't regret it.

73 and good DX
