I saw this too. It looks like a great piece of kit.
Doesn't the dollars he's asking seem a bit steep though? Maybe not, and I'm
hoping this comes off as a serious question. If it were opened up so that the dollars
asked was lower then there'd be a lot of backers, which in turn drives build costs
down further?
If HackRF is half as good as I think it's going to be, then the $$ is definitely way
to high. Just my (possibly uninformed) opinion.
Honestly this is actually very cheap for what it is. I think the
rtl-sdr has spoiled people, expecting very cheap prices.
The hack rf target price was 300$ IIRC, so it's not even half the
price and it doesn't nearly have the bandwidth, sample rate, on-board
DSP capability or the ability to do full duplex. They're really not in
the same category.
