i'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS THREAD, HOPING SOMETHING MAY COME OUT OF IT.

sri caps lock on, I build all my own equipment, I would like to put the
computer in the rig, so I can either use it as a normal multiband transceiver,
or plug a keyboard rat and display and have something powerful.
I operate at vhf to microwave and my main use for sdr is to find very weak
signals, of with the levels of activity watch weak signals from beacons.
I dont want to have to drag a computer around , I've have a small 9 lcd tv
which has a svga input as well, all I would need is a rat/mouse. Hermes
intersest me but its going to be priced sky high like all else here. But I want
to break away from audio interfaces, and I want to be able to build it , not
have someone else do it then have to remove or make changes to interface it to
my equipment. SDR for mre will always be in the IF, it just depends on how far
back in the IF I put it. Some of the very small itx boards are nice, but trying
to find one that they have actually made an effort to suppress EMI from it is
hard.
The Chinese attitude towards EMC is testing is how many times you can stamp CE
on a box before the ink runs out.
There are lots of people who are interested in SDR and want to move to a data
IO, but its not within the price match of the majority, and thats an area that
needs to be looked at.
I will no doubt get flamed by those with a wad of notes in their wallets
