Comparison of new USRP, HackRF and bladeRF

GNU Radio

Hello,

I’ve spent a lot of time researching and comparing the different
Software
Defined Radios that are available for purchase. This year, three new
SDRs
are being released from three different companies, the HackRF, bladeRF
and
the USRP B210 and B200. While doing research on the B200, very little
information was available on the web, but I’ve managed to dig up a lot
of
information on it and post in the article, along with some high
resolution
photos.

I think this article will be useful for anybody considering buying a new
Software Defined Radio. There are definitely three great options out
there.
Hopefully having all the information about the three in the same place
will
be useful. Check out there article below:

This is brilliant. I’m trying to decide between bladeRF and USRP B200.
USRP
B200 is $895 AUD for for me, whereas bladeRF is $100 less. However, my
suspicion is that driver support is far better for USRP. So confused
