PLUTOSDR Tutorial
The Analog Devices ADALM-PLUTO SDR Active Learning Module (PlutoSDR) is a module that introduces the fundamentals of software-defined radio (SDR), radio frequency (RF), and wireless communications to electrical engineering students.It looks like a very cool device to me. Mouser has them for $140.
