These guys are actually making it open and I think we should try to support em.

smells like BS the specs surpass the of existing products too much

>Have you fa/g/gots heard of LimeSDR yet? Sure. I am considering getting one but my working hours are too long to have much of a hobby. I am a licensed radio amateur so I follow the development in this area.
The chip it is built around is already in production and that is the hardest part.
Grayson Cruz
Why would I need this? I already bought 3 RPi that are collecting dust.

Can it run an LTE cell?

Are you fucking retarded?

Nolan Thompson
$499 for the complete usable package (case, cables and antennas) It's still competitive ofc
Brayden Gomez
>reaction images reveal personal opinions Confirmed for fucking retard.
Kayden Ortiz
You ran your own IMSI catcher ?

Anthony Jenkins
nope
Joseph Lee
$249 for those specs is pretty impressive. Would easily cost you 10x that to do it yourself (just the hardware) even if you got everything right the first time. Speaking from experience here.

Carson Jones
Well given most existing products are just repurposed HD TV receivers I'm not surprised a purpose-made device does it better.
Lucas Phillips
relevant to muh interests.
looks like a potentially awesome receiver or even transceiver for hams, particularly if it can put out enough power to drive a typical linear.
wonder how well the s/w works.
Jordan Williams
Looking at the specs for the Lime transceiver, it does have configurable low-pass filters, but not narrow enough for a lot of ham type activity. You would almost certainly want to add an external pre-select filter for the band you intend to use. This will keep the VCOs from getting aliased back down into the passband you are receiving. The rest of the filtering could easily be done by the FIR filters on the Lime device, FPGA, and PC after that.
Wyatt Hughes
I'm good thanks ;)
Noah Powell
It can handle almost all of the frequencies and has 4 antennas so MIMO can work. Anyone know the limitations which aren't clearly listed?
Henry Sullivan
Ettus?
Well funded too then.
Parker Wilson
For this money, it is very capable. Still, here are some things that I consider limitations: >U.Fl connectors (mcx,mmcx,sma would be better) >Small FPGA (Xilinx Artix-7 series would enable much more DSP) >RX gain control limited to 30dB >Hardware design files only useful on Windows (Eagle cad would be better choice for open project)
