Eric,
Actually the Janus will probably be a part of my project. I will need
a way to get audio out for RX and audio in for TX - I'll need at least
the TI CODEC part of it. Also, I can envision having both a LTC2208
board and a QSD based board in one radio. The LTC2208 could be used
to scan big chunks of spectrum and direct the QSD based board to tune
to a signal of interest while the LTC2208 continues the scan. I also
need to be able to decode command signals via USB to an IO controller
board - that function will be handled by the Lionheart board.
