Now that Peter has chosen to announce the product, I can probably tell you a little more about it. We specifically chose the design for two reasons. 1) The 3000 demod is very sensitive and worked very well on our previous Nova-T-USB2 design. 2) Building a design with a PCI Bridge / USB controller give us the performance we need and a great price point. The product is running very well in the lab. It's a nice clean design, looks good. I think the market will like it. Regards, Steve
