[hpsdr] backup boards?

[John Koster]

Not sure if I understand the question, but how is this different from 
trying to go back to your favorite computer store and buy an exact 
replacement for say a video card you purchased a year ago?  

Hopefully the situation won't be as bad as the above senario I used for an
example, but anything you do these days is subject to the whims of the
chip producer.  It's not like the good ole days of the 6146 which was
around for decades (still available?)

Others with more knowledge on the subject can comment on what they think
the life cycle of the parts may be, but my suspicion is that the parts
selected will be around for longer than the average.
