Re: I'm looking for this type of radio

Here's a free radio receiver. Just requires an internet connection and a PC with a web browser:

»websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/

On a side note, it still blows my mind that this thing samples the entire HF spectrum in one go and makes it available to over a hundred users simultaneously to tune in to whatever they like! The power and flexibility of modern electronics and computing is amazing.

OH MY GOD! This is the coolest thing I've seen since sliced bread! Thanks for sharing!

If you just want to play around a bit there are some DVB-T tunner sticks (Europe TV) that people are turning into simple SDR's. They do have many limitations but they are also in the $20 range and the software is free.

NooElec makes an up-converter designed for them that allows them to tune the HAM-HF (shortwave) bands.

I have one of the RTL2832 sticks and it's been fun to play with.

I've had an eye on one of those for a few months now. The impulse buyer in me wants one really bad, but I know I shouldn't. Been spending was too much lately lol just recently purchased an Elecraft K2 fully loaded. My wallet hates me now.
