mySDR Baseband Software Defined Radio Modem

mySDR is a new project to create a fully open source baseband modem for software defined radio. The plan is to provide a range of performance options to pick and choose from such that the radio, can be somewhat customized for the best "bang for your buck".

The project will target GNU Radio compatibility as well as being a drop-in replacement for the USRP.
