This is a really impressive project, and I am all the more in awe that this guy is only 18 years old.

The project is on Github: https://github.com/FreeSRP Reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/electronics/comments/4uic5r/sdr_pla...

He's selling a small batch of these for $350 apiece - calling it now, he's going to be very successful in his career.

Thank you for the kind comment. Not selling them yet, though, and the small batch might end up being a little more expensive than that (but I'm really trying to keep it under $400).

Lukas, your schematic link seems to be broken on the project site. I have been thinking about doing a similar project with this chipset actually. I really want to put down about or 8 of these ADI parts and actually make lower cost phased array development environment. One day....

That'd be a cool project... The link is working for me, the schematics should be here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/freesrp/prototype-r2/freesrp-sch.pd... Are you sure it's broken?

Your link here, and the link in the article, both work for me.

This is a really nice write up of an impressive project!
