"Real SDR" will become illegal; no longer exist. "Consumer SDR" will eat the binary blobs of emission compliant crippled chipsludge. "Test Equipment" again a popular category. like "water pipe" where you used to put your bong, you'll not dare ask about amplified front-ends or frequency focused antennas attendant with your ADC/DAC test device - your lab is already stocked! best regards, from the Wideband TestKit at Faraday Barn :)
