Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Production LTC1746... done

[Dan Gisselquist]

Dave,

I'm interested in purchasing the hardware required to put a software  
radio together and experimenting with the GNU Radio software.  I'd be  
interested in your SSRP, but I have some questions regarding it which  
are not explained on your web site.  For example,

        1. Does it need a daughter board?

The USRP (if I understand from the website correctly) has locations on  
it for four daughterboards, each of which are distinct and separate  
from the USRP.  Buying a USRP gets you nowhere without the daughter  
board.  Although the web site lists how to make such a daughter board,  
I'm a software guy not a hardware guy.  I'd rather purchase if  
possible.  (In addition, the web site says nothing about how to get a  
USRP in the first place ... one fundamental difficulty for a guy like  
me ...)

        2. If it does need a daughterboard, where can I get one?

Do I need to build it?

        3. If not, what frequency ranges are available?

That 50-850 MHz range looks ideal to me, as I would love to get FM  
radio in S/W.  This would also give me the capability to build my own  
police/fire/aviation radio scanner.  Commercial AM is also interesting  
me, just not as much.

        4. What sampling rates can the SSRP do?

	5. Is it a receive only system, or will it transmit and  
receive?

I'm sure I'll have other questions, but I thought these might be a good  
start.

Thanks!

Dan
