[hpsdr] new to hpsdr group

[Ray J]

hello all you smart peoples... lol

I was looking around .. noticing  that I should really think about 
buying the collection of hpsdr stuff tapr has available right now..
as there is serious questions about  its availability later..

its scary to think that theres going to be a non commercial sdr rig 
obtainable by hams,  that sounds like it will knock the socks off the 
sdr1000..

am  I correct in my line of thinking,  that basically the hpsdr assembly 
available "right" now (soon) ( Atlas, Ozy, and Janus), is pretty much a 
outboard, high end outboard sound card, and interface.?

I already have a sdr-1k (and delta44)  .. I assume their is some way to 
interface the hpsdr unit (as it stands now),   with the sdr1k..... or not??

I'm not a engineer or anything..(  I have managed to put together a few 
DEMI transverter's so i guess i can do simple assembly/integration)

 so I guess i'm asking, are nice($400) hpsdr components that are coming 
available soon, going to sit on my shelf for many months, waiting for 
more modules to turn it into something functional?

thanks
