Brad -- There is a significant group of developers and users congregating around http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dttsp-linux. A lot of progress is being made. It's not confined to Linux. The SDR and UI code is up and running on Linux, Mac OSX, and FreeBSD.
The major hardware target is still the SDR-1000 right now, but SoftRocks work too, and we're expecting to put a lot of work into supporting a full range of HPSDR configurations. Come check it out if you're curious. 73 and thanks Frank AB2KT On 4/14/07, Brad A.
