Thank you sir! I had just stumbled across this last night as well. While not a full home-brew as you call out, it certainly can be a cool project to work on with my kids!

But, this is not much of a homebrew. The challenge would be to build something from scratch.

Hi Fred. This is also on my project list. I have both the V and U version of the DRA818. I am planning on a simply desktop unit powered by arduino and a nokia 5110 lcd. a cheap baofen mic/speaker. Just for experimentation and local repeater access as these modules are only 1W... maybe even do APRS...
In the end though, If all you want is a cheap V/U radio, just buy a $30 UV5R...
