Hi Stephan, I am sure GR can do that, but I can't ;-) I can't help but propose you change that ;) No, seriously, cross-compiling GNU Radio for an ARM sounds more complicated than doing non-coherent binary FSK demod, but then again, that might just be me :D. In fact, you're absolutely right:

Wxgui trends to be a bit picky on openGL issues; you might have to disable that. However, I wouldn't worry too much - QT is the future in GNU Radio, wx will go away in a future release. Best regards, Marcus Am 2. Juni 2015 18:54:11 MESZ, schrieb Ayman Hendawy ayman.hend...@gmail.com: Hi, I'm

Thanks Matt! But the B200 frequency range is 70 MHz - 6GHz, so it does not cover the SW band. I have an USRP 1 and some daughterboards, but I was thinking about something even more affordable, that could work with UHD. Something closer to what hams use for SW. Best regards, Rafael Diniz On

Hi, I met the following errors when I try to synchronize two USRP N210s. Both N210s are fed with 10MHz reference clock and 1 PPS from an OctoClock. The two N210s are connected via a MIMO cable as well. One N210 is connected to the Ethernet of a MacbookPro (2010 model) via an Ethernet cable.

I've heard a complaint about something similar on ARM before that was VOLK related. Can you set your volk_config to use the neon for volk_32f_x2_dot_prod_32f and report back? If the previous request is confusing just copy this file [0] to ~/.volk/volk_config. [0]

Sounds like a B200 + a cheap downconverter, maybe based off something like the classical NE602/SA612 IC, plus a bit of analog RC filtering. You will probably want external analog hardware, anyway, because the USRPs don't typically generate enough power for long-range broadcasts -- heck, India has

Hey Stephan, probably, you've even got a fully fledged GR installation around. If not, I'd say: get the uber-cool LiveSDR DVD image [1], boot from it. As soon as you have a full GR installation, you can run the GNU Radio companion, which feels a lot like connecting together real world filters
