LH is an excellent program, and it needs to be brought into polite society, by making it run natively on all platforms. Changing it to Python, and PyQT4, is easy, but there is a lot of code base to sift through. Once on Python, and PyQT4, it will run natively everywhere. Including smartphones an

Hi You can use a D flip flop to sample (down convert) a signal. You may or may not get into metastability problems when you do. If you treat the gate inputs as -1 and +1 rather than 0 and 1, the XOR is a multiplier. If you put two signals into the gate and look at the output on a spectrum ana

If there is a problem in the RF front-end, no software can report this... actually the only way to test the radio section of a GPS receiver is to just connect it to an antenna (unless there is a GPS simulator available). On Sat, Jan 9, 2016 at 2:49 AM, Michael Bauer wrote: > My subj Nortel Trimbl
