Yeah, I'm a little leery of buying a pig in a poke, so to speak. It's
caveat emptor, so I like to give merchandise a once-over BEFORE paying for
it, but, this is a whole different issue. I guess this kind of gear either
works perfectly or not at all, as a rule.

How much, as a minimum, can I expect to have to spend for a software
controllable receiver? I already have a fast, up to date windows box
with
usb 2.0.




Partly depend on what you want to do with it. What frquencies interest you
etc. You can buy a brand new Ten Tec R320D for about $320.00 US or a
Winradio
for thousands depending on options. YOu can also find most of these for
sale
on EBay if you are patient I have seen Icom PCr-1000's go for 250$US. In
fact there is one at $150 or so as I type
