This may be slightly off-topic, but I have been contacted by the 
Electrical Engineering department head at our local in regards to 
teaching SDR technology in the telecommunications curriculum.  I am 
seeking recommendations on a hardware/software platform readily 
available for use in teaching SDR.  I think something with a MATLAB or 
MATLAB-like interface (such as http://www.joshknows.com/?key=grc) is 
probably what the department head is looking for. 

It seems that this hpsdr project may still be in too early of 
development stages to meet the goals of the department head.  However, I

do not know when the department is planning to add SDR to the curriculum

and by then, the HPSDR project may be far enough along to use.  My first

thought for hardware/software combo is the USRP by Ettus in conjunction 
with GnuRadio.  What are the thoughts of this list?

Thanks,
