[time-nuts] Low cost SDR suitable for phase noise measurement?

Hi Brooke,
It looks like I've asked a question poorly, yet again. So, let me try again. I have this idea of combining a DMTD with an SDR. So, said that way, it looks like what I really need is a 2-channel audio SDR. And having said that, maybe what I'm looking for is an external USB sound card. Those I can find. I can probably even figure out how to convert them to DC and supply them with a disciplined oscillator, if needed.

Hi Bob:
The SDR-IQ has a lower frequency limit of 500 Hz.

There is a mod that replaces the on board 66 MHz oscillator with one locked to 10 MHz.

> A number of posts have appeared about Zynq SDRs on the "Shera revisited" thread. So, I'd like to ask the more general question: Are there any low cost SDRs that are suitable for measuring phase noise when coupled with a DMTD? I believe what I'm looking for is something with enough bits to work in the audio range down to DC. Yes, I could use a modified sound card, but I'm really looking for something not sound card related. My thought was to use a DMTD with a heterodyne frequency of maybe 5KHz.
