[hpsdr] Mercury and SDR-Shell

[w3sz]

Hello, All,

I modified Edson Pereira's SDR-Shell for Linux [version 3a, as modified 
by Rob Frohne] to work with Mercury.

As modified, it uses John Melton's Ozy driver, and the initozy from the 
Jack-Janus portion of the hpsdr trunk.  Of course, it uses the newer, 
cgran dttsp code.

It took very little work to do this, and I realize it isn't in the same 
league as the great recent GUIs by John Melton and Bob Cowdery;  I did 
it just to see if really I understood things at all after reading 
through their code.

I thought others might like to play with it/learn by modifying it 
further and checking their results.

The modified version of SDR-Shell is specifically intended for use with 
Mercury.

I put a tarball with the files including source for the necessary ozy 
driver and initozy files at
http://www.nitehawk.com/w3sz/sdrshell_merc_w3sz.tar.bz2 .  The tar.bz2 
file is about 1.2 MB.

I didn't include the new dttsp, which it uses, in the package.  As you 
know, it can be downloaded via svn via
svn co https://www.cgran.org/cgran/projects/dttsp /your_directory
and you should get the most recent version from there.

I am using a 64 bit kernel so if you have a 32 bit system my compiled 
files won't work for you.  But with the source included, you can 
recompile everything easily yourself.

I put a description of how to set it up and use it at

Thanks to all for the learning materials!
