Nice find.

Is it Really in production now?
Doesn't look so interesting from these specs., incomplete spec. boxes, etc.
Coding for an FGPA will be a nightmare.  So where is the compatible software?  "GNU" leaves the potential user with a lot of work.

Still 16 bit since real world noise floors demand no more.
Ok on what the FPGA is but I'm curious what the four dual channel 16bit, 370Mhz ADC's are.

Lots of interesting stuff coming out of Canada these days. I've been looking at the ThinkRF unit.

I do not see anything about demodulation, just a spectrum analizer...

That is true. ThinkRF is selling it as a spectrum analyzer. Once it's digitized, demod is easy. From the spec sheet: "Open APIs for use with Python, MATLAB, C/C++"

HackRF.   Approximately 20 mhz to 6 gig.   TX and rx.

Less than most sdr receivers.

Looks like it receives multiple programs/channels at the same time?
