Mailing List Changes
-----------------------------


There is a new USRP-announce mailing list.  This list will only be used for 
announcements, about once or twice a
month, and users cannot post to it.  It will only be used for announcements 
about the USRP family of products.

If interested, you can subscribe to it here:

USRP Enclosure Now Available!
---------------------------------------------

We are pleased to announce the availability of the new USRP Enclosure. 
This oft-requested item is made out of black anodized aluminum, and
includes a fan and 2 RF cables.

The enclosure, which measures 8.25" by 6.5" by 2" (210mm by 167mm by
54mm) has front-panel cutouts for the power, USB, and 5 SMA bulkhead
connectors.  The enclosure comes with 2 SMA cables, male on one side to
connect to daughterboards inside the box, and female bulkhead to mount
to the box on the other side.  More cables are available for those
needing more than 2 RF connections to the outside of the box.

The only restriction the enclosure places on usage is that only one TVRX
board may be used at a time.  Other daughterboards are not affected.

Going forward, all USRPs ordered will come with the enclosure, fan, 2
cables, and appropriate hardware.  The price of the USRP has been
adjusted to reflect this.

For those who already own USRPs, you can purchase the
enclosure/fan/cables/hardware package separately for $125.

Pictures of the enclosure are here:

SDR06 Conference and Trade Show
-------------------------------------------

Ettus Research will have a booth (#207) at the SDR06 conference and trade show 
happening this week in Orlando, from Monday through Thursday.  There will be 
live demos of the USRP in action.  We look forward to meeting those of you who 
are attending.  If you'd like to arrange a meeting outside of the tradeshow, 
you can do so by email (address@hidden) or in person at the booth.
