We have to hope that Gerald produces a new version of the SDR with all we have learned Does this mean that the SDR-1000 we now know will stop being and another SD-XXXX will be comming ? Or do you mean that we will be upgrading the hardware to make a better system? Ed WA3BZT
I would think that the current incarnation of the hardware is really a SDR-1100 (or something).. the RFE is a significantly different hardware platform than the original BPF on the original SDR1000. For that matter, there's at least two different flavors of the PIO card in the stack for the SDR1000, although the electrical and functional interfaces are the same.
One could argue that you should define higher level system configurations too. Is a 600 MHz celeron and a mobo sound card really comparable to a 3 GHz P4 with a D44?
