[IRCA] $37 SDR?

Mark, >>So spring for something like Elad or Afedri at the approx. $500 >>price point and skip the toys. I agree, but the initial 'budget' did not seem to be $500. As for the AirSpy HF+, the comments from the few that saw/used one justify a wait and see approach for a few months until it's

Re: [IRCA] domestic dx
