[Discuss-gnuradio] AM receiver

[Gituma Nturibi]

First I thank Eric and Michael for their input about my previous query- It 
was helpful but designing a superhet radio receiver is not as easy as it 
sounds.

I'm back again with a few questions about GNU radio. As I had said earlier I 
was thinking about creating an Fm receiver. However cost and complexity 
considerations have made me think about trying AM reception instead. Taking 
into account I'm based in Kenya so shipping would be an issue and a budget 
of about $120, very small!
The problem is that I'm on a tight time schedule and require to get the 
project up and running soon. So I would like to know what is the best I can 
achieve using a PC sound card or some other cheap ADC board.

I would also like to know where I can find the code for AM reception 
particularly the MW band.

I'm also looking for information on FM tuner cards- Is there a way to tap 
the IF from the card and use it as a front end? I would appreciate input on 
this and where I can get more info on the internal workings of an FM cards 
tried to search for some on the net and got basically nothing.
Still trying to find out the specifications and the capabilities of the 
N1IBT board by willware. Any GNU radio implementation using a Tayloe 
detector?
Thanks in advance
