[EIDXA] SuperCheap SDR

[Joe Hungate - K8OM]

Hi Jason,

Yes, that definitely piqued my interest! I'm interested in seeing how it 
handles all of the noise and crud on 160 meters. I wonder if there is any 
software available that can turn this into a police / fire radio scanner. 
That could be fun.

Looks like you may be the volunteer local Guinea Pig on building and testing 
one of these. Please keep us up to date on your adventures. It will be 
interesting to see what your "does" and "don’ts" work out to be. I think 
that would probably be an interesting demo at a future club meeting.

Good luck.

73,

Joe - K8OM

Has anyone taken a good look at page 30 of the new QST yet?  It describes a
$20 little USB gadget for picking up broadcast TV on your computer, that can
be rigged to function as an SDR receiver.  The frequency range is vhf to 1.7
gig, but there's also a simple upconverter design that makes it useful on
the HF bands. To me, this looks like gold!  Any other opinions?



Jason
