Doug, I agree with everyone needing examples. That's why I posted my first success with the SDR-Radio setup: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7MvJu7FYuoJbHhKR3paUTlCYTg/edit?usp=sharing
Hopefully, we can get some more documentation for a quick start on one of the GNU-radio live ISOs. - Duane > Thanks greatly! > > I tried that boot disk and it, the disk, worked. > However, while I understand what it does and how to use it > (it being Gnu Radio) I find the same problem with it that > bugged me horribly before I retired ... newbees need > EXAMPLES.
