Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Radio interoperability

[Bijendra Singh]

Well it is a project I'm working on. I am trying to receive an AM signal from HF radio which will be provided in the usrp source in my gnu and will transmit a FM signal as output in the usrp sink which I'm trying to send it to the VHF radio. And vice versa. I'm using CNR-900 VHF radio which freq range is 30 to 89.899 MHz and RS-HX radio which freq range is 3 to 30 MHz. When I tried the hf2vhf.grc file, it is working, but with noise. Same thing will be possible for VHF to Hf, I guess. And I'm stuck in this. Any possible remedies??

Hi Bijendra,

it's not quite clear what your question is.

A couple of things you might want to consider:

- AM is per se noisy. A commercial HF receiver would also have much
  better filters than you can achieve with an LFRX-only setup, so expect
  much noise here
- FM is much better with noise.
- You're not supposed to rx AM signals with an FM receiver.
- VHF and HF usually designate (separate) frequency ranges. So when
  talking about 'interoperability' between those, most people will be
  confused. Well, I am.
