What is the most popular Panadapter for application to the ICOM radios and their freqin' 70MHz IF? Anybody use that Fun Cube SDR Dongle sold by our Brit friends?

IIRC, EEB used to sell one which could handle that IF - along with the more commonly seen 10.7MHz.

I seem to remember that panadapter. Was it an Atlantic Electronics SM-1071, as shown on this Italian language blog: http://tarapippo.blogspot.mx/2010/02/atlantic-electronics-sm-1071.html

I think there was a later model, called the SM-7071. Both used small CRT displays for presenting spectrum data and there wasn't a computer interface to extract this data.
