Hi Pedro,

Buy a RTL dongle, since they're almost free. If it doesn't do what you want, then you'll know more about what you want.

Then you can literally buy a rock. It has pretty bad reception, and all
receivers built with rocks have a 50% bit error rate. (just kidding)

SDR peripherals are technical equipment. There has to be *some*
specification of what you need. Like Bandwidth. Make yourself acquinted
with the parameters I listed in my last email, and what they mean. Then
you will surely come to some conclusion of what you need.

I just want to simulate a Cognitive Radio without a lot of details
CR doesn't specify what you actually want to do at all, technically.
For simulation you'd not need any hardware at all - so maybe you'd want
to specify more closely what you want to do!

Antony asked about this on Ruby Forum
For people finding this later on via Google: This is NOT ruby forum.
Ruby forum is nothing but a *bad* interface to the GNU Radio mailing
list archives, which you can find at lists.gnu.org, and an even worse
implementation of a mailing list client. You're doing it right by using
email to communicate with us!
Also, there's a lot of Mails going through this mailing list, so I don't
know which Antony or which email you are referring to.

Best regards,
Marcus

Marcus,

Below $120 is okay for me. Actually, the features are not important
for me now, because I just want to simulate a Cognitive Radio without
a lot of details. I just wanna see it working to study and learn about
this process. Like I said, it's important to have a receiver port and
be compatible with Gnuradio.

I saw that Antony asked about this on Ruby Forum (it seems he has the
same interests, but no one could help him, so I came here to the
mailing list).

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,
Pedro Gabriel Adami

    Hi Pedro,

    You will, as for any device, need to figure out what you need,
    specification-wise. I'm obviously a bit biased, but no one else
    might even be able to help you unless you wrote some numbers:
    frequencies you're interested in, bandwidth you want to sample at
    once, stability, available interfaces, cost range etc.

    Best regards,
    Marcus

        Hello,

        I've been searching a lot about SDR and USRP devices to
        purchase. All I need is a board with a receiver port
        (transmitter is not important for now) and it's necessary to
        be compatible with Gnuradio. There are some options, but I
        don't have experiency or enough knowledge to choose one of
        them (I don't know the brands, if they are reliable, etc).

        I found RTL2838U/R820T2. Is it good? What are the other boards
        that you know? Sorry about the questions, but I'm kind of new
        here.
