Helmut, I am not entirely sure they do.

I don't think this is a contest. I think it is about understanding the
architecture and its ramifications.

What is going to happen between now and then? What is going to happen there
that will change things? The possibilities are already determined by the
architecture and no amount of talking will change that. Frankly, the most
important thing that will happen is how the new protocol between radio box
and computer gets defined. EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING hangs on that.
Open up that protocol to support an unbounded number of mutirate subbands
to multiple back-end processing data "sinks" and you have opened up the
portal to the real future of HF radio communications systems. The hardware
is secondary. The right protocol enables whole classes of future radio
systems ... or holds them back.
