The Expert Electronics SunSDR2 PRO is a compact HF to VHF SDR Transceiver with a modern design

This week, we've gathered a few interesting pieces, starting with a look at remote tuner control for some Icom rigs—something that comes up often when you're trying to optimize a less-than-ideal antenna setup from the shack. We also found a neat project for low-band receiving, specifically a phase-controlled array, which could be a real asset for digging out weak signals or tackling local noise issues. For those who appreciate the classics, there's a collection of 'boatanchor' photos worth browsing. We also have a review of the Icom IC-R9000 receiver, a capable unit for general listening. If you're into remote listening, there's a KiwiSDR located in Iraq that offers a unique perspective on HF propagation. Finally, a detailed homebrew QRP transmitter build rounds out the selection, focusing on practical construction details that many experimenters will find useful.
