For $149 quantity 1 you can get a nice board easily ordered
from our friends at Digi-Key. It can take 5VDC, or power
over the USB interface, or there is a power supply available
for it that uses 2 AA batteries.

Yes, and they all hang out at beagleboard.org. You can start out
by watching the several youtube videos of things the board is
already doing. The TI OMAP engineers are being very pro-active
and helpful to interested newcomers.

And yes, a fair number of beagleboard projects are SDR related.

Have fun,
