Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] dive into gnu-radio

You are not in the same boat, by far. I'm an EE RF/MW hardware guy with zero formal software training (other than a FORTRAN undergrad course requirement; if that hints to my age). SDR is a rather new field that requires a LOT of cross discipline; it's software + radio. I have been messing with

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] dive into gnu-radio

Hi Martijn: Two cents from me, a relative non-technical newbie, also a long-time amateur radio operator. My educational and professional background is in computing science and a bit of math. I first found gnuradio a few years ago, and had a similar experience to yours. I played around with

Hi Kevin, Your link is good, but the exact title is "The scientist and engineer's giude to Digital Signal Processing" Coming from a similar background, it has been my favorite over the past 6 mos:) BR, Nikos On Fri, Mar 18, 2016 at 5:10 AM, Kevin McQuiggin wrote: > Hi

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] dive into gnu-radio

In reply to Kevin: Your path seems pretty similar to mine, I started a few years ago with a RTL dongle and got away with receiving in a few SDR programs available for Mac. After getting bored by that I installed gnu radio and seemingly quickly I got success with getting set-up what I needed.

Hello, This might be a discussion that you have faced multiple times, but please bear with me until the end of this email. (I know how busy guys approach emails coming from the mailing list). I am a guy who recently got to know about gnu-radio, and it raised interest in me. To get into the

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] dive into gnu-radio

Hello Guys, I am really happy to see my question generated some quality discussion. It is encouraging and I hope other guys stumbling upon the post will contribute two cents or so. One thing I can do is to take your suggestions and start with the course materials and the textbooks. Then,

Also coming from a formal software engineering background, I found Michael Ossman's SDR with HackRF(https://greatscottgadgets.com/sdr/) series very informative. It has "homework" sections and starts with very little in assumptions of your prior knowledge. You dont need a hackrf, any sdr, including

I had to reply to Kevin because I am literally laying in bed reading "Digital Signal Processing: A Guide for Scientists and Engineers" as his email came in. I'm on a similar journey (about three months in) and just wanted to reiterate that while GRC seems to be a very powerful tool, it can't

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] dive into gnu-radio

I must say I have similar feelings even though I am a fully licensed ham radio operator and a low level protocol engineer. I have have a hard time understanding most of the blocks. The tutorials are going up to a point where things get interesting and then they end. Although I do understand
