Found this today, look interesting. Prices are quite reasonable (if not cheap). Performance is the question.. I suppose the quality of the system sound card is a big issue.
Anybody here own one or seen one in use?
How about piping a 10.7 MHz IF into it for VHF/UHF?

A friend of mine just bought and assembled one. He said that the instructions were pretty poor... the parts list and schematic didn't always match up and he had to do a fair amount of head-scratching (and I think bang-head-on-desk-ing) to get it built. He was not impressed with that aspect. I haven't yet heard how well it's working as a radio. I'll ask him and let you know.
