Complementing the in-ice neutrino detector, IceCube features a surface array for the detection of cosmic-ray air showers. A new hybrid detector consisting of particle and radio detectors is at the moment under development as an option to extend the IceCube surface array. While prototypes of the particle detectors are already deployed and operating at the South Pole, the deployment of two prototype radio antennas is scheduled for January 2019. These two antennas will be included in the existing particle detector array and its DAQ. To be able to process radio detector signals with the existing DAQ system (IceTAXI), additional components have to be added to the existing particle DAQ. Special care has been taken since the reconstruction of cosmic-ray properties using the radio signal highly depends on the accuracy of the recorded radio waveform. In this presentation, the hybrid DAQ system will be described in detail focusing on the radio detector electronics. In addition, first results regarding the characterization of the radio electronics as well as first tests with the full setup will be shown.
