Software Defined receivers (radios)
mapleleaf:
I am using an SDR-IQ from RF Space. It runs just fine on a little. inexpensive Compaq netbook using an 1.6 GHz Atom CPU and XP.
I was dubious considering the sort of audio chipset one would expect in a product like this but it works just fine.
I am limited to sampling 190 kHz at a time but I'm very happy with it.
The SpectraVue interface isn't as fancy as some others I've seen. (Perseus)

A lot of folks are using the SDR-Radio package http://sdr-radio.com/. There seems to be some sort of tie-in between them and RF Space, and I suspect as a result SpectraVue will probably remain feature-poor. I tried SDR-Radio under vmware years ago, I haven't tried it since.
There is also the Cute SDR http://sourceforge.net/search/?q=CuteSDR open sores program.

Chris, is that waterfall spec-an you've got a screenshot of above downloadable? I could really use that as it would substantially cut down on trips into VMWare land.

Yes, that's a waterfall. The app reads recording files generated by SV. It does not record from the SDR, however. Maybe someone could get recording added to cuteSDR?
I've ventured into it, but the C++ nature of Qt gives me hives. I actually ported quite a bit of it over to cocoa/obj-c, but it is not finished, and only reads from the netSDR.
Any fellow Mac programmers here? Maybe together we could get it finished?

Salivating over here about the Elecraft KX3 (the guts of which is an SDR, with a "regular" interface) :P
