Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Tuning in VLF with a sound card

Hi Brad, Just some random ideas... What you are trying to do is very doable. Ive seen a lot of people do it for VLF reception... Usually along with some kind of FET amplifier before the mic... The frequency xlating FIR filter doesn't have great performance on the rbpi at the moment. The frequency

As an avid fan of Raspberry Pi, often putting them to use for DSP applications, I just want to say thank you for your hard work keeping gnuradio working and optimized on the platform! I've seen some great FET preamp circuits available on the internet, a few of which I've tried out. I'll dust one o

Thanks for the support! Regarding your VLF experiments there's an historically interesting VLF transmitter Grimeton SAQ sometimes active on 17.2kHz. https://alexander.n.se/the-radio-station-saq-grimeton/saq-transmissions/?lang=en --Albin On Wed, May 8, 2019 at 2:34 PM Brad Hein wrote: > > As a

Hi all, I am honored to be accepted by GSoC and GNU Radio. I could not do this without the support of community members and mentors. I will continue to work with the community and try my best to bring the Verilog simulation feature into GNU Radio. I will report my progress weekly on the mailin

Hi Moses - And just to confirm, if you remove your LDPC block from that flowgraph or replace it with a passthrough, you don't see the leak? Cheers, Ben On Tue, May 7, 2019 at 7:24 PM Moses Browne Mwakyanjala wrote: > Hello Ben, > Thanks. > For LDPC, the executable can be found at > > *gr-ccsds

An official gnuradio raspberry pi image or PPA would be really neat! Raspbian comes with an older version of gnuradio not properly optimized. --Albin On Wed, May 8, 2019, 18:46 Philip Balister wrote: > On 05/08/2019 12:09 PM, Ben Hilburn wrote: > > Hi Glen - > > > > We’ve put our event detect

Yeah I think raspbian is built to run on all versions of the raspberry pi so it's 32 bit and no neon... I'm running Ubuntu server now built for aarch64 and especially the improvements in NEON makes it very attractive for SDR indeed.. --Albin On Wed, May 8, 2019, 19:24 Philip Balister wrote: >

There is some magic involved in shrinking a RPi image so that it will then expand when reinstalled, like the original Raspbian. I went through the pain a while ago and documented it here: https://blog.febo.com/?p=283 John On 5/8/19 12:45 PM, Philip Balister wrote: > On 05/08/2019 12:09 PM,
