Radio

I’m looking at how to do a USRP clone. After evaluating a little bit the Altera Cyclone FPGA development/starter kits I realized that I would need an extra USB controller like the original USRP has. Right now, I’m trying to figure out how to use the Cypress FX2 CY7C68013, together with the FPGA. The USRP FAQ on FX2 CY7C68013 has proven quite helpful, also the Design of a hardware platform for narrow-band Software Defined Radio applications" by Kalen Watermeyer . ...

A couple of day ago, I stumbled on GNU Radio.

I want to listen to Sverige Radio P1 in Mac OS X. It seems that Windows Media Player and RealPlayer are the only supported options so I thought I couldn’t do it but then I found Flip4Mac WMV Player also known as Windows Media® Components for QuickTime, by Flip4Mac™ .
