[hpsdr] MacHPSDR and Ipad

[Richard Stasiak]

Hi Jeremy

Thanks for the quick reply. I had a feeling that you may have already  
been looking at the Ipad possibilities.

I thought that there may be a way to pass the Ozy data stream through  
the Ipad USB interface and allow it to be processed by 'Ipadhpsdr'.   
 From your description, it 'sounds' like the USB interface is tied to  
audio data only.

Thanks for the info on the differences between OSX and iOS. The Ipad  
display is very crisp and the touch screen commands are intuitive. It  
seems like it has enough processing horsepower to make a cool SDR  
computer.

As suggested by Tony VK3JED, I'll take a look at Isdr.  I wonder where  
I put my softrocks????
