[Noisebridge-discuss] Anyone willing to part with their USRP?

[Josh Myer]

That'd be awesome, but I'm looking to use one sooner than that.

I would love to be able to design, test, and finish one of these.
 Unfortunately, they're way beyond my level of expertise on multiple fronts:
truly high-speed digital, mixed analog/digital (~1GHz analog, 100+MHz
digital), hi-speed USB2.0 (or GigE), FPGA programming, not to mention all
the radio frontend stuff (1GHz+)...

Oh, and almost all of the parts are TSSOP or finer pitch, though I don't
think there's anything that requires BGA.  In any case, the sorts of things
which absolutely require stencils to assemble without spending forever
reworking them when they're done.

Long story short: I looked into this a while back, but decided that I wanted
to actually use a USRP over the next two years, not spend two years learning
how to build one =)
