My brain fart for the day: Intrigued by this idea, I did a search and found
the flex 1500 site (
http://www.flex-radio.com/Products.aspx?topic=F1.5k_features ) with a
picture of the little unit. And I'm looking at the front panel and
wondering "what the * is an Upper Side Band jack?" Oh, _USB_ oh, OK, now I
get it. Guess I was thinking too much about the radio part and not enough
about the software defined part!
