PlutoSDR is a self contained RF lab in your hand. It's more than the combination of a few parts, but to understand the capabilities of the module, you must understand the fundamental operation of each part inside the module. Depending on who you are, and what you want to do, you may have different needs, different wants, and will use different software. It's expected that many people will stop when they solve their immediate problem and don't want to go any deeper into the stack.
