[hpsdr] Thinking outside the box

[John Petrich]

Berndt and all,

Yes and well put.  I hope that others follow up on your suggestion and explore the possibilities presented by GNUradio. 
The challenge that I am exploring is how to leverage Mercury as either a full bodied USRP (where GNUradio both controls the FPGA and performs the desired DSP), or as a USRP 'lite' (where another application such as PSDR/KISS controls the FPGA and GNUradio performs the desired DSP).  It would be wonderful if Mercury could join that lineup of Perseus, USRP, etc. for GNUradio and from there to non-GNUradio DSP's for test and measurement purposes.

Regards,
John W7FU

G'day John,

GNU Radio already has support for USRP, Perseus, HiQSDR, Funcube and possibly others. Unlike PSDR, KISS and "other applications" mentioned in your email, GNU Radio is cross platform compatible and has almost unlimited scope for experimentation. GNU Radio also provides a graphical DSP tool, GnuRadio Companion (GRC), for creating flow graphs and generating flow-graph source code.

For the benefit for those unfamiliar with GNU Radio here are a couple of
