[SMCARA] Software Defined Radio

[n3cal .]

Dan,

I have built 2 Ensemble II SDR receiver kits from five dash.com which is
just the receiver side.   I'd be more than happy to help you with your kit
and answer any qestions you may have. I can also help with any of the
Surface mount parts you may need to solder.  I also have one available if
you would like to play around with it.  Just be aware you need a good
computer soun card in order for these rigs to work well.  I have a
inductance/capatitance meter available when you get around to winding the
coils.  It helps quite a bit.
