[hpsdr] ozy/janus as soundcard for digital modes

[Stephen West-Fisher]

Yes, I had seen that after I got Sid's message. But I also noticed that
there were some comments about the Softrock solution not working all that
well at 70mHz which is what I would need. Anyway, I'm still interested in
working on a software solution (if possible) to get the Janus analogue
input/output working somehow.

You can add to that:

 

            4. You have a receiver that doesn't demodulate the signal type
you want to receive.

 

For example, an IC-PCR100 software-controlled receiver receives AM and FM
from 0.5-1300MHz, but doesn't do CW, SSB, or digital.  It makes a good host
for a SoftRock based IF.  You can find info on the web on how to tap into
the IF of this and many other radios.  Tony Parks used to make versions of
the single-frequency Softrock kit available for 455KHz and 10.7MHz (I have
used both), but you can use a flexible version to do the same thing.

Eric,

There are really only three good reasons to do this:

1.  You have a very high-end (RX/AGC spec's exceed SoftRock) single-signal
radio to which you'd like to add a panadapter or an additional wideband
mode.

2.  You have a transceiver to which you'd like to add a panadapter (or an
additional wideband RX mode).

3.  You have a receiver for a frequency that is not covered by a SoftRock
(and want to add a panadapter or wideband mode).

I think #2 is the most common reason.  I can't for the life of me understand
why someone would want to add an IF tap to an average (or worse) radio when
the Ensemble RXes are so inexpensive and easy to assemble.
