I support you 100% Marc !.. The bad thing is, I am not a good programmer either ☹ I hope the Fellows here may accept your proposal, you develop cheap open source boards with Miri support and I buy one of them.
On this occasion I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 73 Murat TA1DB -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 24, 2022 2:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Request to reactivate Miri support Hello everyone, Short story: I would like to ask if it is possible to bring back the Miri support that was removed in October 2020? The market for cheap SDR receivers has changed in recent years and there are now more good boards with Miri chipsets. Long story: I work as an industrial mechanic, but my secret loves since many years are electronics and amateur radio. It was GNU Radio that allowed me to learn a lot about filtering, modulation or signal mixing without the necessary technical training. I started with the RTL-SDR sticks like many others and they got me off to a good start, but the lack of ability to receive signals below 20MHz without modification makes it difficult for beginners to experiment. This is where the cheap Miri Boards come into play today. I ordered boards with Miri chipset from China for 18€ delivered to Germany. They have a good performance for beginners and signals above 10kHz can also be received well. My plan is to develop cheap open source boards for amateur radio beginners that are connected directly to the Miri boards. Based on the NE555 and the Si5351A, basics such as filters, attenuators, mixing and modulating frequencies should be explained and tested. My biggest problem is that I'm not a good programmer, so I can't manage to re-implement Miri support myself and compile gr-osmosdr to get it running on Windows (yes, I'll burn in hell for it one day). Hence my request to resume Miri support in gr-osmosdr or the question of whether someone can help me to create a fork that can be compiled with Miri Support under Windows. Offtopic: After all these years of using gr-osmosdr, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved for their time and dedication, which enables people like me to learn and develop with simple means and without expensive equipment. Thanks for your time and Merry Christmas to everyone! Marc
