Martin,

The alternative of a USB 3.0 is not having 5 USRPs. It is just reading 5
times at different centrer frequencies in order to get 40MHz information
although that information will not be gathered at the same time.

For my application I just need to "see" the sprectrum. I do not need to
demodulate data so that it would be fine to proceed that way. However i
would rather get 40MHz in a row.

Many thanks,
Jorge
