Marcus, Let’s find out and compare USB 2.0 SDR devices running certain applications versus your USB 3.0 SDR devices ? No more talking please. The ASRP1, now to be called, SDR MIMO, will be available next month as well too to provide USRP1 applications reliable SDR environments. I’ve had it running OpenBTS for almost 3 months with ZERO issues! And it all based off of the deceptive " Open Source Ettus USRP1 " design too: [http://www.reddit.com/r/GNURadio/comments/23vm9p/gnuradio\_compatible\_handheld\_wideband\_33mhz/](http://www.reddit.com/r/GNURadio/comments/23vm9p/gnuradio_compatible_handheld_wideband_33mhz/) Marcus, I keep aquiring USB 3.0 customers who have spent $1000 or better for SDR equipment that is only working, MOSTLY, through USB 2.0. Hence why reliable USB 2.0 SDR equipment shall be coming to town from here on in!

It’s been outdated _for years_. UHD is the way to go. - - Recent GNU Radio (3.7 and 3.6.\*) doesn’t support libUSRP - - it’d be nice if you actually mentioned why you post this to _this_ particular mailing list - - utilizing USB2 instead of 3 is like saying “I’m driving a '99 Fiat Punto to avoid the well known issues that come with a modern Maserati” Greetings, Marcus ---

Martin, I wanted to publicly address this kind of behavior that we’ve talked about in the past because I want to make sure everyone recognizes how we try and do business here. We really work hard on this mailing list to keep the discussion civil and technical. Arguments are welcome, but they need to be backed up with facts, not ugly insults about individuals and companies. I’m directing this mostly at your use of the word “deceptive” when talking about Ettus R., but this also goes to your attitude and ugly insults to other up-standing members of the GNU Radio community on the Reddit link you posted. I’m going to have to ask you to apologize or I will have to block this account from further posting on the mailing list. Regards, Tom On Fri, Apr 25, 2014 at 3:21 PM, Software RadioUSA \<
