i have been looking for an FM receiver that will pick up an audio
transmission between 170-180MHz and pipe it into the input of my
machine's soundcard. at the moment, i am looking at the ICOM PCR1000,
but i am really quite averse to investing that much money in this little
experiment.

it struck me - perhaps there is a PCI slot card available that will act
as an FM receiver? does anybody know of such a thing? i think you get FM
receivers packaged with TV-in cards, but i don't suppose they will
support the waveband i'm looking at.

You might want to check out the WinRadio receivers (www.winradio.com).
