[Elecraft] Cheap and Easy SDR

[Barry LaZar]

I know the cost is much greater, but the KX3 makes a fantastic SDR. I've 
been using it with a good sound card and am extremely pleased. I can see 
where this one radio could solve a large number of requirements in a 
single small box. Check out Sherwood's data on radios.
