what they supply is a dog/winblowz sdk.  the api is documented, but
the libraries are provided in binary form, and there is no register
level documentation.

it might be a fair assumption that these "radios" are dumber than
people think from the dynamic range and other crucial numbers, these
radios pretty much suck.  you would get better performance out of a
direct conversion or trf receiver, honestly.
