Can anyone comment on their experiences with
http://www.rfspace.com/RFSPACE/SDR-IQ.html vs any USRP that Ettus makes?
Thanks,

Do this hardware support GNU Radio? Its good to utilize GNU Radio as the
community and support is very huge. the continuity of the platform is
much
sustain.
GNU Radio provide a great software radio solution for the software part.
lots of services already and will be ported.
USRP is the perfect match for GNU Radio as it is developed to be
compliment
each other. USRP is progressing very well until this day and it keep and
maintain the low cost solution.
In term of performance I yet cannot compare because I also never use
SDR-IQ,
however, as in the literature, current SDR or SR (as matt does not like
the
word defined 
) is not yet much focus on performance, it is more work
on
flexibility.
however, it will depend on individual to determined what they like to
use

I don’t have experience with SDR-IQ but it seems to me that comparing
it to USRP family is like apples and oranges.
SDR-IQ: Receives 192kHz bandwidth within 500 Hz to 30 MHz
USRP1: Receives and transmits up to 8 MHz from DC to lightspeed
depending on daughterboard
USRP2: Same but up to 25 MHz.
So if the SDR-IQ is sufficient for your needs you should buy that one
since it is cheaper and also comes with fine polished software for ham
radio use. But if you want to experiment with high rate data
transmission on e.g. 2.4 GHz, then USRP series is better choice.
