Neat, however, software for base station are not provided and interested companies can contact the site owner. Pretty cool that this is allegedly running on a software defined radio kit which can be had for only ~$2000 (a bargain).

Is there a reason that this Low-Cost software defined radio wouldn't work ($30)?

Because you are comparing two different categories of radios. There is a big difference between a very cheap receiver and a high quality, wide bandwidth, customizable transceiver. A bad automobile analogy would be a Yugo vs Peterbilt.

It's only a receiver. You'll need a transmit capable radio to do everything this does.

receiver only?
