I just merged into the master branch the work contributed by Alexandru Csete providing GNU Radio support for the FUNcube Dongle SDR. This is a USB dongle that receives approximately 80 KHz of bandwidth (fixed sample rate of 96 Ksps) tunable from 64 MHz to 1.7 GHz:
http://www.funcubedongle.com/ The new component, gr-fcd, provides both C++ and Python APIs, and is supported on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows 7 operating systems. On Linux platforms, it requires the libusb-1.0 interface library; otherwise it uses native APIs on Windows and Mac OS X. The source block is also supported in the GNU Radio Companion graphical flowgraph generator, along with several example applications. The FUNcube Dongle is an example of a low-cost, narrowband SDR, useful for reception of waveforms used by amateur radio, public safety agencies, commercial and military land mobile radio, 1- and 2-way paging systems, air traffic control, satellite communications, and many others. Hopefully, the inclusion of support in GNU Radio makes it easier for interested enthusiasts to monitor and demodulate these types of radio signals, and we'd certainly welcome further contributions from the GNU Radio community that arise from these efforts.
