Hi Marcus, I believe you are a good technical starter than to talk about market. If you are to talk about $20 ADC/DAC i would rather disassociate from your discussion.
If you would bet on million dollar to donate to GnuRadio, then i will prove about the pricing you are talking about. S-- On Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 9:39 AM, Marcus D.
