[Lowfer] SDR RX Suggestions

[Douglas Williams]

I have a Winradio Excalibur Pro SDR for sale if anyone wants it. WRTH 2012
called it the best receiver they had ever reviewed, or something of that
nature. I have used it to receive numerous LF and VLF signals.

Make me a private offer. I have the box, cables, power supply, and
everything it came with.

I have determined that I prefer traditional receivers. Call me old
fashioned. ;-)
