Hello. It largely depends on what band you are interested in.

For LW/MW/SW I'd recommend:
Software: HDSDR - hdsdr.de/ Tons of shortcuts, you can easily tune, input frequencies, adjust filters etc. Cannot do FM stereo, RDS decoding possible only with external software.
Hardware: I use Airspy HF+ Discovery and HF+ Dual Port. These have narrower bandwidth, but thei're nearly impossible to overload with strong signals. Great for both lower frequencies and broadcast FM. Won't work for DAB+ due to higher bandwidth requirements.

For DAB+ I use RTL-SDR blog V4 SDR and QT-DAB software. It's QT, so it has its ups and downs.

I have no experience with the more expensive, high end SDRs.

FOR #FMDX, there's currently a great combination. TEF-6686/6687 chip-based receivers, and FM-DX Webserver. The radios aren't strictly SDRs, but they are DSP-powered. The Webserver is maybe 90% accessible, with some accessibility bugs still unresolved, but they are rather minor. You can tune using arrows, input frequencies, view RDS data / signal strength etc. As far as I know, the keyboard shortcuts are undocumented, so feel free to ask, if you need to.

FMDX server list: servers.fmdx.org/ You need to activate the "Server list" button first to browse servers.

Okay, so after my successful move from mas.to, it's time for a little intro. Basically it's an extended version of my profile description.

I'm a blind guy living in the eastern part of Slovakia, working as Sysadmin. I'm happily married, rather introverted, a cat lover, who enjoys simple moments, such as having a coffee or a drink with my loved ones. I'm passionate about music (listening and mixing), #FMDX, reading both text and audio books in English, Slovak, and Czech. I used to do a lot of OS tinkering (Linux, Windows and Android), but now I prefer the things to be stable and working, rather than experimenting with everything. I prefer the non-proprietary open source stuff whenever possible, but I'm not strict about it.
I'm not a frequent poster, but I do participate in things that interest me.

For more details on my hobbies, see my profile description. Feel free to contact me if you think we have something in common.
