Speaking from the USRP side of the house: 

Yes, we understand that you'll need an RF daughterboard.  That's why
we're building them.  The first ones that will be ready are an RX only
d'board the covers from 50 MHz to about 800 MHz, and a transceiver
d'board (transmit and receive) that covers the 70cm amateur band (420
MHz to 450 MHz).  We'll be taking orders next month for the USRP and
the daughterboards.  We'll post a link as soon as it is ready.
