This is new kid on the block of Software Defined Radio.

One of the SDR portals: http://www.rtl-sdr.com/

You can buy cheapest SDR for 20USD these days. Great to play, and there is even a marvelous GNU Radio available (http://gnuradio.org/) - Yikes :)

Where can I get a $20 SDR?

Here's a page with radios that work for sure: http://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/

By the way, these are receivers. If you want to transmit using SDR, the hardware is going to be a bit more expensive.

The rtl-sdr dongle is available for around $25 on Amazon.

$8.66, and I'm sure you can go lower. https://www.amazon.com/DVB-T-RTL2832U-RTL-SDR-Receiver-Compa...

Anything with RTL2832U + R820T will do.

What's the motivator for EE's backing? Assuming it's not just a random crowdfunding campaign they were feeling charitable to. Do they want their own SDR to e.g. do network/ frequency analysis? Or advanced radio R&D?

"some hours left to still get a discounted SDR"

Some hours and then several months.
