Matt-san,

Congratulations to the WBX announcement.  As you know well, 
I am using USRP-1 for 150MHz/400MHz satellite beacon experiment, 
and the WBX just meets our frequency range.  I would like to 
test it as soon as possible.  But at the same time, I would 
like to say that RFX400 is very useful for our purpose.
Larger concern from me is on the USRP-1.  Our application 
(dual-band coherent receiver for TEC measurement, named GRBR) 
really needs USRP-1.  Our experiment is getting more popularity 
these days.  We now use 10+ receivers in Japan and in southeast 
Asian contries.  But the globe is huge!  I hope that many stations 
are built by number of researchres in the world.  Soon I want 
to renew our GRBR web page, and announce our current status.  
Thanks for your help.

Regards,
