Hello, everybody!

I'm developing a project related to Cognitive Radio (an energy detector,
more specifically) and I have to buy a USRP or SDR board to continue
developing it.

For now, I just need a simple and basic board that has a transmitter
port and a receiver one and that is possible to use with Gnuradio. Only
this!
I don't have experience on buying this stuff so I hope you can help me.
The board can't be expensive, because my lab has limited resources.
The processor it's not important for me (unless there is some
restriction to use with Gnuradio).

If you can help me sending some websites, models or tips of good boards
(but not so expensive) it would be great.

Cheers,
Thank you a lot.

Welcome to GNU Radio. First of all, please subscribe to the mailing list (http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/MailingLists) and use your actual e-mail account rather than ruby-forum.com.

Off the top of my head here's a list of "affordable" vendors with GNU Radio support (in alphabetical order) that transmit:

* Ettus (http://www.ettus.com/)

* Fairwaves UmTRX (http://shop.fairwaves.co/accessories-and-diy)

* Greatt Scott Gadgets Hackrf (https://greatscottgadgets.com/hackrf/)

* Nuand Bladerf (http://nuand.com/)

If you can drop the transmit requirement then also check out RTL-SDR dongles (nooelec and others). You're going to have to do your own research to figure out what to buy.

PS - there's way more companies than this in this particular market, but they are usually more specialized and more expensive.
