Please tell us more about your front end.  Depending on how simple or
complicated it is, the amount of work varies from trivial to a fair
amount of work.

Basically you need a way to get samples from it and perform any
control operations.  The USRP is on the complicated end of the
spectrum, mostly because of it's flexibility and the work we had to do
to get good performance out of the USB.  A basic A/D card is on the
simple end, assuming you've already got a Linux driver that'll deliver
samples via "read" or something similar.
