An awful lot of evidence by citing off-the-shelf solutions for both
the hardware and the software of SDR.

It depends where you draw the line.
I have a DVB dongle that I use under linux.
I use pre-written drivers and a waterfall code module but the rest of
the code is self-written by me in c++ and python with some java 2D stuff
for the pretty front end and logging and analysis (largely because I
prefer the collections interface in Java over c++ for massive data
handling).

It is certainly homebrew because the amount of time and effort I spent
in writing to code (and time to learn python on codeacademy - good site
BTW) was probably longer than I have spent designing and building hardware.

Your mileage may vary....

Well said, but not a problem here because both reay and cole, the
two perpetrators of unpleasantness are being widespreadly shunned and
are in my KF as I type.
(Note how quiet the unn.* NGs are since the start of the cole shunning!)

everybody would get on well if it wasn't for those two ........

A HF upverter added to the front end, and you are all set.

Very simple project, a cheap DIL crystal oscillator around 50MHz,
passive mixer with the ports switched around and you have a LF/MF/HF RX
from DC. Some front end filtering and Bob's your unc.

I've come to the conclusion it's compulsive, ditto the boy wonder's
behaviour across usenet.

Perhaps that was the agenda all along.

My first 2m QSO was made with a CB set feeding into a home-made
double-balanced diode mixer, and an ancient sig gen as the LO on 118 (or
maybe 177) MHz.

I figured my effort was doomed to fail. At least Gareth didn't respond
directly to the dynamic duo. Who knows, this topic seems to have some
interest from the group. Maybe the on topic posts will outnumber the
pointless tit-for-tat posts.

I will say that Gareth is not without blame either. He needs to ignore
the rantings. Just as they feed the troll behavior in him, he feeds the
troll behavior in them.
