#132Earlier quoted context omitted.
Unfortunately, most countries don't have, or don't enforce, penalties for companies claiming rights they don't have.

#135> Just one problem: you won’t find any SDR on the market that will claim to be able to sample a wave oscillating over a billion times a second. This was true, but not any more.

For example: Xilinx RFSoc: https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/903/ds889_zynq_usp_rfsoc_... A nice National Instrument…
This is amazing! I had no idea tech like this was available on the market. Thank you for the correction.
i agree!
