This discussion makes me want to begin production of a VHF/UHF muti-mode SDR with dual Rx and plenty of access for addition of modems into wide-band circuits...i.e one that incorporates all our "wish lists". I wonder if the Gates Foundation has any grant money for a poor dillussionary ham wannabee entrepreneur? Ha ;-)

I'm not affiliated with Matt but respect the work he's done with the equipment. Take a look. You may be pleasantly surprised.
