If they fly through the aether, they're analog. Once a signal leaves
the warm cozy domain of the digital world, it's analog. It becomes
analog as soon as it leaves the DAC on the USRP. It's then at the
mercy of the not-so-tender ministrations of the actively-trying-gut-you
analog world. You may well have deluded the signal into thinking it's
digital, but it's a thin, thin delusion once it hits the antenna.... :-)
