We are shooting for a price of $299 for KrakenSDR.

  Oh thanks for your answer, that's very interesting! For someone wanting to upgrade from rtl-sdr that seems a good step up. While you're here, I'm particularly interested whether you're aiming for something more ambitious some day or 100% focused on kraken? I'm thinking coherent 32/64 rx channels or more? Also, is there a way to assemble two krakens and synchronize them somehow so as to have 10x coherent rx? :-) There's probably a better channel of communication for such questions ... Thanks again for jumping in with a correction.

    We have plans to offer a few different versions of KrakenSDR. The entry level version will likely be the current version with 5 tuners. We are laying out an idea for 8 tuners, integrated CPU, and pre-set antennas; basically a turnkey system for remote operations. We can definitely produce more exotic beasts, but I don't think there is much of a market for a Kraken with a hundred heads.

      Ah thanks. Yeah I was more going on the side of 'build your own phased array' and (I think) needed coherent receivers for that. 299usd is an amazing price for 5 channel rx. And, since the schematics and everything (?) is open, it might be a 1-semester EE end of studies project to extend it to 32 or more :-) Thanks for taking time to answer my questions. This project looks amazing, can't wait HW availability.

        Although the direction-finding and passive radar software are both open source, the hardware is not (so no schematics, layout, BOM). Just wanted to clarify that for you and anyone else reading this thread.
