Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] ( An attempt ) to run GNURadio on WinTV : )

Hi,

A year back, there was an idea of getting the TV card vendor to make CX23881 as a cheap ADC device. Any news on this ? With this, a crude and slow spectrum analyzer would probably be possible. Crude here means if there is a high spectrum peak, probably there is a radio transmission but if there a low peak near the noise floor, then you don't know whether it is there or is it from digital switching noise from the hardware itself.

Best regards,
Hew
