This week I had the pleasure to interview Martin, IW3AUT. He’s the developer and founder of the Italian PMSDR Software Defined Radio receiver. In this interview you will get a look inside a successful SDR project. You will read about the design goals, the milestones of the project, the problems which Martin encountered an how he solved them. Enjoy the interview!

IW3AUT: My “radio career” started with the soft age of 11 when I had my first contact with CB-Radio. With the age of 16, I passed the Amateur Radio exam and received the callsign IW3AUT which I’m still holding today. I am an enthusiastic Short Wave- / Broadcast listener and I have a passion for microwave applications.
