Hi David,
Help me out with the 100,000 single point failures. Are you referring to the complexity of digital gates etc., in the DSP.
Isn't P3E going with a digital IF or are they using an analog backup or vice versa? That's the SDX thingy isn't it?

Hello Bruce / Dom.
I agree, the UV on Eagle will be apparently analog (ue) to the casual user.
But be aware Bruce that it's not "primarily" a software driven transponder.
It is in fact TOTALLY software driven. There is no linear IF, just DSP in the core. Or from another viewpoint 100,000 single point failures just waiting to happen.
