Hi Patrik, The FCD works as is with GNU Radio since it is an audio source. I used GNU Radio for my initial tests: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daY-fkMYN_M Changing frequency can be done using the qthid control application. The one on the website is known to crash and freeze. I have since forked it and applied the necessary fixes to make it run stable. It is available here: https://github.com/csete/qthid although not quite 100% stable unless FCD is running the 18f firmware. Once I'm done with this I will implement the remaining API for setting gains and filters and eventually there will be a "libfcd" which can be included in a GNU Radio block. I'm not sure if it makes sense to create a GNU Radio block for this since the FCD is already an audio source and a block is not necessary for setting frequency and such. I guess it would still be useful for using it in GRC applications.
