[Discuss-gnuradio] Finally have some front-end hardware

[Rob Judd]

Hi,

Totally by surprise tonight, a friend of mine showed up with a brand new
Pico Tech ADC-212/100 dual channel digital oscilloscope and gave it to
me. This is a fairly ideal front-end for GNU Radio experimentation and
software development.

I have no real idea why he would give me a piece of gear worth over
AU$2000 but he evidently thought I needed it. He was buying another of
these units for himself as well as a very expensive spectrum analyser
from the same company, so did a package deal and got a second unit for
me to use. I should now be able to contribute to the GNURadio software
development efforts.
