Hello, Tuesday I am heading off to the biggest pencil in the world for the Winter SWL Fest in Kulpsville. I am going to do some informal demos of the USRP and GNURadio. They have a digital radio table in an exhibit room where they demo DRM. This year they want to do some demos of HD Radio and Internet Radio. I am thinking of showing RDS (RDBS) and SCA decoders. Hopefully next year I can actually do a talk on SDR.
Although this gathering is somewhat informal, they had some good talks on DRM , SDR, and the dreaded BPL. The focus is on Shortwave but there are also some VHF/UHF and Free-To-Air Satellite talks and demos. This is the 20th fest so they are doing something right. http://www.swlfest.com/ I am also going to bring my Radio Shack HD radio which is also a SDR. The AM/FM signal is converted to 10.7 MHz and goes to a DDC. The DDC converts it to baseband for a TI DSP chip that does both analog and IBOC decoding. Thanks to USRP and GNURadio I understand how it is done. The Sangean HDT-1 also uses a similar module. 73 Eric _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
