Actually the latest RTL-SDR has a software switch for direct sampling. Which isn't great quality, but with an indoor wire antenna in the basement (!) I received JT65 transmissions from 47 states in the course of a few evenings. Hawaii, Vermont, and Alaska are the ones I missed. However, I did hear Hawaii... On SSB!!
