[Discuss-gnuradio] USRP for Ku band?

Is it possible to utilise USRP2 with a daughter board to receive a signal on the Ku band? I checked Ettus website but all the available daughterboards have carrier frequencies less than the required. What do you think? Cheers, Zohair -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com
