Hello fellow Hams. I was looking around for cheap ham rigs and found a cool software. It is called HamSphere and it is a virtual Ham Radio transceiver. You simply download the software, turn it on and make QSOs right away.
The transceiver works pretty much like a real rig. It uses Double Side band modulation and it comes with pretty good filters. I experienced both phase shift and multi path distortions on some of the signals as the simulation is extremely close to the real thing. The transceiver has 11 Ham Radio bands and you can turn off the simulation on two of the bands.
The price tag is about 37 USD for a year of usage which I found affordable.
They have even implemented a real log book and the ability to create and send digital QSL cards.
Their bands seem crowded at certain hours. When I tried it I made a contact with Macau right away which I consider a real good DX. Thumbs up for this product and you simply have to try it yourself.
Here is the link if you are interested http://www.hamsphere.com
