Hi I am a returning amateur and now trying to get my head round SDR. I 
think this subject is the most interesting but I have a few questions if 
anyone is in the mood to help.
I am very interested in VHF &UHF & even SHF.
 Is there anything equipment wise so far that works well at those 
frequencies or am I a bit soon?
Does the hardware have to cost a fortune?
Thanks
Ray
