SD (software-defined) radio receivers use a bare minimum of hardware, relying instead on their software capabilities. This SDR project demonstrates what’s achievable, in this case a multi-purpose receiver covering all bands from 150 kHz to 30 MHz. It’s been optimised for receiving DRM and AM broadcasts but is also suitable for listening in to the world of amateur transmissions.

Are there yet ZigBee products on the market?
Yes, there are. Some implement an actual ZigBee stack while others feature a ZigBee ready platform like EmberNet.
Examples in the residential space include Control4 (lighting), Eaton (home automation), Golden Power Manufacturing (sprinklers and thermostats), Hawking Technology (home gateways), Kalirel (heating), Mija (fire extinguishers), Nice (shutters), and TSC Systems (home automation).
Examples in the commercial space include Mija (fire extinguishers), Philips (lighting), Siemens (building automation), and TAC (building automation).
The Pioneer Village complex comprises 28 buildings on 20 acres housing over 50,000 irreplaceable items of historical value, restored to operating order, arranged in groups and also in the chronological order of their development.
There are 12 historic buildings around the circular "green". There's a Frontier Fort, a real honest-to-goodness Pony Express Station, an Iron Horse, and a home made of sod. There's a general store and a toy store, chock full of all the goods from yesteryear. An original art collection including 25 Currier and Ives prints, 23 Jackson paintings, and the largest single collection of Rogers statues.
You can ride a priceless steam carousel, see 17 historic flying machines and marvel at 100 antique tractors. See the world's oldest Buick, a 1902 Cadillac and a 1903 Ford, both designed by Henry Ford, plus 350 other antique cars, all displayed in their order of development.
