[hpsdr] Fwd: article: "No-knob" radio: the future of Warfighter communications?

[Bob McGwier]

You mean other than do several of the GNURadio developers own openhpsdr 
hardware?

The "GNURadio developers" are not currently active in developing 
hardware or firmware for OpenHPSDR that I am aware of but that could 
change any moment.


The need to use GNURadio and other open source and/or GPL code is one of 
raw necessity, not initial willingness.  But it has absolutely amazed me 
as the performance and scope of GNURadio has improved with the proper 
support for the last three years how one time detractors have turned 
into advocates.  It is amazingly alike the response of ex-smokers to 
cigarettes!

Even the pigs at the trough around the Beltway are playing the game and 
figuring out that it does not hurt them in any significant way to do so 
as long as they follow the rules!

GNURadio has been amazing bad at producing GUI's but at work we hired a 
VT graduate (Tom Rondeau who I think will be a ham soon) and he has 
built Qt GUI support into GNURadio and it is pretty easy to use.

The other thing, it is pretty easy to write GNURadio modems these days. 
  Using GNURadio Companion (GRC) it is a VERY small workflow to produce 
a fully functioning radio system, have it generate the necessary code, 
and then if any new development needs doing, to get that added into to 
the autogenerated code.
