Probably the cheapest and most elegant improvement to the 706; these RTL 
dongles are only $10 delivered on ebay. 
How you use them is you solder the antenna lead to the IF of the 706 and use 
the PC to decode the IF frequency. 
This gives you the advanced capabilities of the SDR Software including multiple 
layers of fancy filtering.
