Hello Peoples, I just signed up for the discuss list, so I thought I would introduce myself
My name is Will Gilliam and I am a FCC licensed General amateur radio operator. (Ki7OXA)
My first draw into GNURadio was the possibility of operating a high frequency 5W radio
built from a Raspberry Pi 3, an Soundcard SDR radio. I love the idea of embedded computing, SDR radios and GNURadio. Its small, its portable, and because it involves a computer, the radio can be anything, even a modem. Add amateur radio license, even the Element 2 technicians, your still having fun VHF and up...
Doing anything on a large computer is easy. Got more work? throw more cpu time on the task, but anyone that tinkers within the Embedded world, you know you really can't do that to a large degree.
My experience with GNURadio is so far self taught and not pleasant. I am uncertain if my poor experiences are from lack of experience, not enough computer power, or a mix of both.
Is there anyone that is using raspberry pi's and GNURadio on any sort of realtime projects? Is there a better board to use or one that GNURadio is going to try to support?
Look forward to learning and chatting with you all
Will Gilliam
