 ===Where can I find a compatible SD Card for the USRP2?===
-Not all SD Cards are compatible with the USRP2; therefore we recommend using the Kingston 2GB SD cards with part number KGS SD2GB as we have found they work reliably. For our customers' convenience, we still stock replacement SD cards available for $10. Please contact sales@ettus.com if you require a replacement SD card.

 ==Legal Considerations==
 Every country has laws governing the transmission and reception of radio signals. Users are solely responsible for insuring they use their USRP system in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Before attempting to transmit and/or receive on any frequency, we recommend that you determine what licenses may be required and what restrictions may apply.

 We also recommend that you subscribe to the community mailing lists. The mailing lists have a responsive and knowledgeable community of hundreds of developers and technical users who are located around the world. When you join the community, you will be connected to this group of people who can help you learn about SDR and respond to your technical and specific questions. Often your question can be answered quickly on the mailing lists. Each mailing list also provides an archive of all past conversations and discussions going back many years. Your question or problem may have already been addressed before, and a relevant or helpful solution may already exist in the archive.
