FPGA dev system with SDR modules ...

[Alex Fraser]

Looks nice.  The coverage is 325 to 3800  MHz which is less than some 
and more than others.  It seems like all of these boards require some 
sort of front end  to turn them into a radio you could use.  This one is 
so high at it's bottom rx range that it couldn't be used as a panadapter 
on an existing rig.

I guess I should figure out what all the letter combos mean fpga, adc,  
fpgas and adcs

Actually I just rolled up a $100 bill and stuck it in my ear. It seemed 
to improve my reception....
