No, there is no workaround.  I am sorry that I did not make this clear 
in my announcements for the WBX.  To be clear, USRP1s with a serial 
number under 500 will not work with the WBX.  They will also not work 
with XCVR2450 boards, or currently-shipping RFX-series boards without 
some modifications.

If you need info about the modifications for RFX-series or XCVR2450 to 
make it work with your old USRP1, contact me.  There is no simple 
modification which will make it work with the WBX.


If you have purchased a WBX and only have an old USRP1 device, then you 
have 2 options:

1 - Return the WBX for a complete refund, or cancel your order if it has 
not shipped yet.

2 - Contact me off-list so we can discuss a discounted trade-up option.

Again, I'm sorry I didn't think to note this incompatibility, it was an 
oversight.  I will do what is necessary to make this right with our very 
long term loyal customers who still have these older USRP1s.

Thanks,
Matt
