[hpsdr] Cyclops for Hermes (or Mercury)

[Andrew]

Hi Phil,
I have used PSDR, Kiss and cuSDR effectively as a spectrum analyser and its easy to see the capability and the superb dynamic range etc it offers.
However zooming with a fixed sample size is a bit limiting and it would be great to see all the usual spectrum analyser type controls e.g settable span , resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth, sweep time etc etc.
Look forward to what develops.
Thanks,
Andrew G4XZL

Hi Andrew,
 
I think that is a very good ideal. The PC Cyclops code already has the 
option to just use Mercury rather than the down converter so your request is 
consistent with the direction we are currently heading. 
 
You may also want to try the wide  bandscope in Hermann’s cuSDR. This 
has a zoom control on the frequency axis which is most useful.
 
Once we have Beta code available we will call for testers.

Hi,
Not sure what state the Cyclops software is currently, but I was wondering 
if it might be possible to adapt it to run directly on Hermes (or Mercury) and 
give a very nice 0-50MHz spectrum analyser function to complement Phil's Hermes 
vna software?
Even without the downconverter it would still be very useful to have 
typical spectrum analyser functions available etc.

Any thoughts - good/bad idea??
Thanks,
Andrew
