Universal Radio Grabber: the USRP

Nethemas the Great writes "The Universal Software Radio Peripheral or USRP created by Matt Ettus and Eric Blossom gives a new perspective on the radio spectrum, as in just about all of it from DC to 2.9Ghz. With the right software and daughterboards, their USRPs can capture FM, read GPS, decode HDTV, transmit over emergency bands, track peoples movement via their mobile phones, and much, much more. With prices starting at just $550 this new toy is accessible by most anyone."

I know that certain frequencies must be blocked by any radio receiver sold in the US.

A friend of mine bought WinRadio from Austrailia in order to get the full spectrum version.
