That's both a pro and a on I presume. The con is: I have to buy/borrow a card to try it, and then probably never use it again until I come across a company using dect phones.

thanks muts. it is very interest topic . in last weeks i was add gnuradio to BT.
gnuradio is a free software development toolkit that provides the signal processing runtime and processing blocks to implement software radios using readily-available, low-cost external RF hardware and commodity processors.

to work with gnuradio you must have this receiver USRP2.

the good news for me and any python guys that is GNU Radio applications are primarily written using the Python programming language.

in any case I am not geek in this domain . but I have some tries .

lastly. I hope add some thing useful to this topic .

Before a couple of month, this card was sale on ebay for about 20$,
now the price is at round 200$. Glad to catch one before the price explodes

Hi, just an idea came to me today. I do not have laptop with PCMCIA slot. So would be possible to use suported DECT card pluged into USB 2.0 to PCMCIA adaptor / Card Reader NIB? I mean use with dedected. If anyone can try or know it its possible please len me know.

USB to PCMCIA adaptor doesnt work. Expresscard to PCMCIA adaptor doesnt work also.
