[amsat-bb] Cheap and Easy SDR

I was reading the article in QST January magazine that details turning a DVB-T usb TV Dongle into a SDR receiver with coverage from 64 to 1700 Mhz with some gaps. I was wondering how this differs with the Fun Cube Dongle being sold. The article also shows how to extend coverage to the HF band. The TV Dongles sell for about 20 dollars on ebay.
