This has also been discussed on the debian-hams list[1] with slightly
more detail but no definite solution.

If I used one I would be using it with a band pass filter for both RX
and TX.

Some other alternatives came up in that thread, has anybody tested any
of these?  It appears that some of them are self-contained, not using
something like GNU Radio on the PC, but if they can send the raw SDR
feed into GNU Radio (for RX at least) that would be interesting.
