Very interesting materials, found some possible improvement points with reference to the pdf file.

Temp1_URCmaterialsV1.0.zip/NotesfortheStudents_v1.0a.pdf

Set-up Guide for the teacher : it is the Notes for the Students document

4.1. Lecture 1: Hello World!
Quiz: Choose the correct answer for the next three questions on the lecture.

Has 4 questions not three

An SDR manages all its functionalities via software, while a traditional radio does
it on hardware

Not true, it manages most or many but not all ...

Exercise E2.2: After finishing the previous exercise, activate and de-activate the DAB and
FM notch filters on SDRUno. What does it happen?
and
Q6.2: I am expecting a packet of length X, but I received a packet of length Y. What
does it happen?
-> last sentence is not English
What happens? is better English ...

E9.1: Try to repeat the experience by scrambling the message sent by a source block and
by decoding it with and without the scrambler block.
->> experiment, not experience?

Temp1_URCmaterialsV1.0.zip/NotesfortheTeacher_v1.0a.pdf
Contents 4.11 read 4.1

The course involves the utilization of SDRplay in Windows environment. ->> SDRuno? SDRplay equipment ..

Rest of text has a few minor typos/missing words.

TI CC1101 board is becoming more and more unavailable and expensive, especially outside US/UK
