Hi,

I'm just a "end-user" and not a software engineer, so it's not very 
easy, for me, to understand all of this.
Does it mean that that this "new board" is connected between your sdr 
transceiver (hermes etc) and your PC?.
I would rater like a 'stand-alone' and 'High Performance' solution for 
better DSP functionality etc,
and to get rid of my pc, then an extra board that just needs more soft- 
and firmware....
But I understand that this is very exiting for software engineers, so 
good luck.
