Hacking the UV3R
Saw this on a number of sites including Hack a day someone has managed to hack the firmware on the UV3R handheld, cheap as chips on ebay and using an SDR chipset looks like something to keep an eye on.

NOAA Weather Satellites and SDR
One site I have in my Google Reader list and check regularly is the Hackaday blog
The main project website describes using a Softrock homebrew SDR(software defined radio) to get the necessary audio file to import into WxImg decoder.
I have been toying with getting hold of the AmSat-UK FunCube SDR dongle, which is now available from Martin Lynch and Sons and using it in a similar way after seeing this article a while back.
One project they recently featured was Grab your own images from NOAA weather satellites
