[amsat-bb] SDR For Satellite Use

I have successfully built and operated my G59 transceiver with GPA10 10W 
amp (http://www.genesisradio.com.au/) for 40m JT65a contacts to VK2, 75m 
voice contacts in the States, and everything in between.

At some point in the past, some group (TAPR?) had a 2m SDR transceiver.  
I have no idea where that information might be.

Does anyone here use SDR for their satellite operation?  Maybe using 
Flex radios or something else?  I don't know that it would matter on the 
FM birds, but it would be nice to be able to see the spectrum on the 
linear birds.

Thanks,
