But if someone here designed and built a $100 receiver and offered it to
the group, that could well violate some of their IP.

As to building a home brew receiver and certifying a onsie so your lab's
cal is traceable, I'd certainly not trust a cal done that way.

Doing spacecraft communications is hardly the same thing.

YMMV,
