Hi Everybody, I would like to propose that the mailing list be split into two separate ones that would reflect the two kinds of common messages that are posted. Most of the messages on this list deal with support issues: questions about the UHD API, about hardware interfaces and drivers (e.g., Ethernet cards), or about hardware failures or quirks. I have posted several such messages and in all cases got a prompt and useful reply from Ettus employees and/or from fellow users. However, for me and I conjecture that for many other users of Ettus radios, the volume of these messages make it impossible to actually pay attention to them. There are now several such messages a day and I can't afford to spend the time to read them. I sometimes scan just the subjects to see if there are ones that I am particularly qualified to answer, but even that is not easy. I would very much like to pay attention to the other type of messages on the list, which are announcements (of new UHD releases, new products, and software that works with USRPs). There are typically a lot fewer of those than support-request messaged. It would be easier if there were two list, something like usrp-support and usrp-announcements. Please give it a thought. Regards, Sivan

Sivan, Thank you for your feedback. We've thought about this in the past, but we're going to keep things as is for now. I've found that when there are multiple lists, you end up with people posting to both anyway, and it generally reduces the number of people paying attention. If the volume on the list is too high, you can choose to get digests delivered to you. That will bundle the emails together into a single one. I believe that some mail readers will still allow you to respond to individual messages from a digest. We do have a separate list for product announcements, which you can sign up for in the lower right corner of the ettus.com main page, but that only has major announcements like new products, not software releases.
