174Mhz Receiver with 10.7Mhz SDR IF Detector

I've always thought a low-cost single band Software Defined Radio (SDR) might be used to convert a VHF or UHF FM Radio into an "All Mode" Receiver. Recently I came a across a low cost PLL VHF 174Mhz FM 0.2uV telemetry receiver card on ebay. So I have removed a few component to disconnect the 455khz down converter and FM limiter and then wired in the software defined radio tuned 10.7Mhz into the IF. I'm pleased to report this actually works.
