The whole point of Cognitive Radio is very simple: it's a radio that can program itself. A corollary of that point is: it's a radio that can and will adapt *by itself* to functioning in response to situations and requirements that *you don't and can't in principle know yet*. So a cognitive radio

Lyle -- What you're saying makes sense for a (basically) fixed product. It leaves no room for enhancements in the Cognitive Radio area, which *do* require the resources of a more general computer. What we're dealing with is much more a coprocessor than a peripheral of any sort. The high falutin'
