[Discuss-gnuradio] daughterboard PCB/PADS files?

I see that http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/public/documents has the PDFs, but are the PCB/PADS files still around for any of these boards? If the answer is no, then is open source hardware becoming open, but we don't want to make it too easy since we make money on these. If yes, then

It is USRP2, my system setup is Ubuntu 9.04+Gnuradio3.2.2. My test codes includes the benchmark OFDM, BBN code, which i tested smoothly before both cabling and over the air. TX uses XCVR2450, the RX uses RFX2400 or DBSRX-LF. Best, Guanbo On Feb 17, 2011, at 10:42 PM, Marcus D. Leech

Hi I used XCVR2450 daughterboard for TX and RX on USRP2 and everything is fine. Recently I began to use RFX2400 and DBSRX-LF, which I found out the performance are much worse than XCVR2450. Observed from FFT plot, I found out there are some weird spectrum response using RFX2400 and DBSRX-LF

Hi All, When we use any of the USRP daughterboard to transmit, do we need the authorization? For example, FRX900 includes the cell phone bands in US. If we use FRX900 to transmit, do we violate the FCC rule? Or, we could legally use any daughterboard on any band that falls in the frequency
