I really wish someone would use one of these chips to make computer-controlled SDR radio. Basically, USB-C port on one side and antenna connector on the other.

There are lots of interesting things that could do on VHF/UHF bands with computer radio. Good example is APRS repeater. Or packet data. Receive can be done with SDR but transmit requires a radio that use audio that is flaky. I would love full I/Q but FM data would be fine.
