Mike,
	Most SDR “hacking”  unless those very hardcore people with good RF building skills takes place on the I/Q (SDR Output) data.

	I would point you in the path of GNU-Radio which offers IMHO the easiest path to SDR processing for learning DSP processing and implementation. Depending on the SDR Radio you can also generate your Signal here and send it back out via your SDR Device.

	There are plenty of Open-Source SDR Projects out there - some more understandable than others

	I would highly recommend the Red Pitaya project as a good neutral SDR test bed, for this you can mess with EVERYTHING !!
