[Discuss-gnuradio] GNU radio installation and USRP

[Ravishankar. M]

Hello all,

 

  I am new to GNU radio software. I have used step by step instructions given in:

http://www.tools4sdr.com/articles/Tutorial+to+install+GNU+Radio+with+cygwin+and+Windows_2688210

to install gnu radio with cygwin.

 

1)       What basic check can I do to ensure that gnu radio has been installed correctly?

2)       Do I mandatorily need to install USRP drivers if I don’t use USRP hardware?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Best Regards

Ravi
