A Software Defined Radio for $11 (sort of...).

Tue Apr 3 01:52:16 UTC 2012

This is something that is worth watching...

Seems some DVB-T USB TV tuners can be used as software defined radios,
and some of the tuners that will work in this role can be found for as
little as $11 on e-Bay. Details to be seen here:
http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr .

It appears the software is not (yet) fit for prime time, but ... In
other words a project that at present is worth keeping an eye on, even
if it isn't yet to the point of being worth running out and getting
one of those TV tuners...
