By the way, here's the e-mail I got from the guy at Lazy Dog:

Heya all, After having a really fun time Friday with Kamal playing with fldigi, a really cool new toy he wrote called Minimodem and being introduced to the mind-blowingly cool websdr.org, I'd mentioned a couple things I'd been looking at for travel purposes. Here's one of them: http://shop.lazydogengineering.com/IMPROVED-LD-1B-Software-Defined-Receiver-5354018.htm They have a niftly little SDR receiver and have plans for a QRP transceiver soon. I had e-mailed a couple times with someone from this place and while they only have Windows support, they seemed interested in getting Linux support as well. Maybe someone interested in coding a front end for an SDR would be interested in this... Anyway, just thought I'd share :-) Now back to sucking up the Newark Airport's wifi while I play a bit with WebSDR. 73 de Jeff
