		+
		+	A recent solution to generate a DAB signal has been developed by Sergiy from Kyiv, Ukraine. It is called EasyDAB v2, see http://tipok.org.ua/node/46 . The DAB modulation has been programmed in an FPGA, such that just the multiplexing and audio/PAD encoding needs to be added. A 'cookbook' description of a complete DAB transmission chain based on this board and a Raspberry Pi can be found on the [[RaspDAB]] page.

Luckily, the native DAB sample-rate of 2048000 does not require USB 3.0 speeds.
 Be wary about USB 3.0: some host controllers are not very well supported. [http://www.ettus.com/kb/detail/usrp-b200-and-b210-usb-30-streaming-rate-benchmarks Ettus Benchmarks]
