Is there a version available that's a legitimate receiver, without all
the DRM silliness?

Yes, agree completely. Skip the mickey mouse stuff and concentrate on
HF/FM/AM signals.

Somebody said that it has an IF output, not an integrated DRM decoder. I
don't know if it is a 12 kHz IF center freq that can be fed into a computer
sound card or a higher IF that would require a downconverter. In any case,
this is hardly mickey mouse (altho' some say SSB speech sounds m-m) because
it makes it very convenient to use IF and demodulator DSP. While you can use
such for DRM decoding, you also can use software DSP for
AM/SSB/CW/NBFM/digital modes with superlative filtering, noise reduction,
spectral display, etc. Very advanced stuff. If the KK-DRM01 has very low
phase noise, it could be a really low-cost, effective tuner/front end for a
software defined radio using free software such as SDR and Dream; look out
Ten-Tec RX-320D! The Kchibo would have the advantage that it can be
unplugged from the computer and used on its own.

"Ready for TV" type Radio from the 1950s.
