[hpsdr] Softrock VNA

[Roger Hayter]

(I sent this before accidentally appended to another thread.  Hope those 
who read it don't mind me sending it again in a new thread.)


  Many on this list will have read about the clever use of a Softrock 
RXTX card as a VNA for antenna analysis.  See the reference to a 
tutorial by the well known VNA designer, Paul, N2PK, well down the page 
at http://www.dxatlas.com/rocky (the Rocky software page).  It would be 
really nice to use the Ozy-Janus combination with a Softrock card to do 
this.  But it would need the developers of PowerSDR to incorporate the 
relevant filters and GUI as devised by N2PK, or someone to write Windows 
WDM driver for Janus-Ozy to emulate a windows sound card.  I just 
wondered if anyone is working on either of these projects (both well 
outside my abilities to help with!), or should I be putting together my 
audio computer with at least a 4 channel soundcard instead?
