Per Vices is every geeks dream but how on are they going to get past FCC regulations?

  Software Defined Radios have been sold for a while -- just not so cheaply, and as easy to use. (I think the Ettus USRPs have been around for a while; first as kits and now as assembled devices; SDR itself has been built into a lot of shipping products). The FCC actually came out with revised regulations in 2005 and 2007 to make SDR easier to approve, and to allow open source software for them. I think there are different regimes for test equipment vs. type-approved consumer devices.

    I see, I was under the impression they could only be used for non-commercial purposes, i.e. not sold. My impression was that this was partly why people weren't selling GNURadio's but rather the kits.
