[Discuss-gnuradio] why USRP2 End-Of-Life (EOL) in March 2011? UHD-only?

[Steve Mcmahon]

Hello:

Why is the USRP2 is going End-Of-Life (EOL) in March 2011? My understanding is 
that one of the parts will soon become unavailable. Which part is it?

I'm just curious, but wouldn't it have been easier to just design around the 
obsoleted part, or find a drop-in replacement, rather than design an all-new 
USRP N210?

That said, the N210 looks really nice. Will it support the raw Ethernet 
interface currently used in the USRP2, or will it require the new UHD interface?
