Hi Marcus,
>Practicality is a very
important aspect of any project like this, and
>it's one that needs to be explored. Yes, very important and I
like what you are designing, you bet I will get one if I can get it as already
tuned.
Also the the SDR
manufacturers are (should be) grateful that an "stronger"
SDR is under consideration
and for this price (only).
What I worry about the GNU SDR is (and I bet most are?): - if it is available as parts listed on a web
page, the cost of test equipment (if you don't have them)
to verify I soldered everything ok
exceeds an commersial USRP by far.
There are lots of SDR examples on the web that got wasted
since too few dare to touch these delicate pieces.
- if I was a student then alles ok, school got the tools
needed. If not, they will get em (hopefully)
- if a company would try (to solder) the SDR in EU, the
price would be around $4k/month/person
If an already tuned GNU SDR Kit was available, We for
sure would found your idea, that I a fact! Patrik
