Good point made! Also a problem is to find a kind of universal chip that is not directed for a special purpose as those usually are limited in their capabilities, and optimized for some frequency bands and/or modes of operation. Last, but not least - the chip must be available to smaller companies without hardly to overcome restrictions, and there must be a chance that it will be available for more than a few months only... > -Ian Ralph. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
