Here's a little bit about the hardware:

What do you think?

Thanks for the reference community.element14.com/.../scottiebabe An interesting project but the Red Pitaya involvement was not very significant and their hype is a bit irksome. Full kudos to the student…

To me, this is mostly an accurate baseband measurement platform. If antennas are to be considered, it would be critical to specify the frequency range for operation, such as below 60 MHz operation, or…

Inputs and outputs are baseband (DC-60MHz), so direct antenna connection seems difficult.

According to the PDF above, two oscilloscope probes seem to be included, but the picture on https://redpitaya.com/product/stemlab-125-14-pro-gen-2-starter-kit/ is not showing them - some verification may be needed.

As the simplest kit is to be roadtested, maybe something like Diagnostics Accessories Kit (included in more advanced versions) would be really useful (basically: two scope probes, wifi dongle and some cables/connectors/adapters)

Very interesting hardware for the roadtest! It's the Zynq-7010 variant right? Not the Zynq-7020 variant with 1GB RAM (will this variant be available for roadtest?). The Gen2 has better data transfer rate and some really interesting features.

We had this confusion too, we believe that they're not included - but we can include them.

In this case I will need to change my vote to "oscilloscope probes"

I can confirm it's the Zynq-7010 variant, yes.

It looks like SMA to BNC adapters are included which is all that is needed, but are there enough BNC adapters?

I am curious to see this in the field. And maybe compare to the motorola test equipment I use daily.
