Yup, good suggestions and interesting discussion. 

But my point of this project is how little does it take for $100 or less.
The point isn't about spending more and more money for half-dB or tenth-dB
performance increments. 

What can be done with less and with mostly software ... I haven't needed to
find a hardware 9600 baud pin without low pass filtering all week either ;-)

My main station with the multi-core laptop, RSP2 running with SDR Uno, yagi,
etc. has uploaded about 600 frames this week with casual use whenever I'm in
the shack. The Raspberry Pi, SDR-RTL dongle, and 2M vertical has
accomplished around 60 frames in a week just as experiment with mostly spare
parts. 

It will be interesting to hear how much less might have worked ... with
appropriately scaled expectations, of course.
