Alex,

Unless I'm missing something, the 480Mb/sec total bandwidth of USB 2 is
nearly 5 times that of 100Mb/sec Ethernet. Ethernet is always collision
sensitive, but Isochronous ("Oh, no, not again!" everybody groans.) USB
Endpoints are not. I don't know the length limits of USB cables off
hand, but they carry power by design. Why is Ethernet better?

Phil,
If there still is a worry about bandwith limitations on the USB (say
like having other devices - keyboards, mice, etc - on the same USB host
controller) how about sending the data via cat5 ethernet or fiber. Leave
the control on USB. A software widget is then needed on the host
computer to expose an interface for PowerSDR.

Here's a neat little device that some compatriots from Europe found:

Might be useful on CASMIR and HORTON for tower mounting microwave
transceiver equipment.
