The software for the SDR I am getting : https://airspy.com/download/ <https://airspy.com/download/> This software can be run without any hardware.  I allows you to select from quite a few sites around the world which have their SDRs available on the ‘net.

Each video presents SDR from a slightly different perspective.  I found each of them to be helpful.
