Hi Marcus,

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!
