There is nothing preventing us from having some of the capability of the 
CDRX-3200 with proper software. PowerSDR is absolutely, positively, definitely 
not it. So, if you are thinking in terms of something even remotely 
PowerSDR-like, we are not on the same planet.

COULD something that once again shifts the paradigm be envisioned?  I'm sure 
that's so.  And in that case, you're ENTIRELY correct: Iterative development 
WOULD be required.

But I haven't heard anything about DI that'd make me think it will be something 
that is not "even remotely PowerSDR-like".  So, either I'm not in the know, not 
paying attention, grossly misinformed, or a combination of those.

In addition, I would argue that building something that does not include (a 
least a facet that is) YAHT would be a mistake.  There's nothing wrong with 
architecting a software platform that will provide the interfaces on which YAHT 
and who knows what else can be eventually built, and then building that 
platform and YAHT GUI. 

This approach wouldn't require definition of any sort of brave new world, but 
definition of proper interfaces would set the stage for the future 
experimentation and iterative creation of that world.  At some point.

But it sounds like you are ready to write that first RFC. Go for it! I am ready 
to beat on it! ;-)

Just one word young man: Interfaces. 
</QUOTE>

Well, we agree: Interfaces aren't THE thing, they're they ONLY thing.  
Interfaces imply architecture, you know :-)

Fortunately, it seems from what Gerald wrote that much of the architecture HAS 
already been defined, and a draft architecture document exists.  Which is very 
cool.  I hope the community gets to review it and each contribute our two-cents.
