Hello,

I forgot to mention that I will be bringing an Elad 10.7 MHz to 12 KHz
converter with me so any radios with 10.7 MHz output could also be used
for DRM.  I use it with my AOR 5000 for DRM reception and it does way
better than the "No-Mod" Mod for the AOR 5000.

I wanted to setup a DRM transmitter and be the first(?) North American
DRM pirate with Radio Kulpsville International on 174 or so KHz.  I
ordered the parts but likely have no time to build it completely.  It
would be great for the DRM demo.

The heart of the transmitter is the USRP, a software-defined radio that
works with GNUradio.  The idea is to send a 12 KHz DRM output to a
computer running GNURadio which converts it to the final frequency and
sends it out the LFTX board on the USRP.

I have done something similar on the receive side for DRM with a 10.7
MHz IF going to the LFRX board on the USRP and coming out the line out
of the computer as 12 KHz IF.

Besides the converter I also wrote a FM SCA Decoder that is now included
in the GNURadio Samples.  There is also an interesting FM RDS (RDBS)
decoder as well.

I am still bringing the USRP as a digital radio as I am sure some people
at the fest will be interesting in seeing it in action.  Plus I want to
see what SCA is like in Philly.
