It's not about the receiver, it's about the software used with the receiver. HDSDR and Gqrx can both be controlled by external programs. I have made a couple of QSOs using computer control with Gqrx, Gpredict, a FUNcube Dongle Pro+, and an FT-817. I know others have used HDSDR with SatPC32 successfully.

There are a number of good inexpensive SDR receivers out there but I don’t see anyone who is successfully controlling them with software such as satpc32. I believe the FunCube Dongle can be controlled by satpc32.
