3) I saw there was an actual gnuradio book, but looks like it was never published.  I'd be willing to buy this in PDF or ebook format; is it avaiable? Is this the book you're talking about? Let me know if you can find a copy. I would definitely buy it if I could find it.

The Cory Clark book was announced but never published - Amazon's out of print designation is kind of misleading on that score. I know of two books that specifically address GNU Radio and the USRP: Artificial Intelligence in Wireless Communications by Tom Rondeau and Charles Bostian,

I am not a lawyer, but that looks to me like a very clear violation of copyright, and I want no part of it. Buy the books if you're going to use them. The authors deserve to be paid for their work. You can always return the books if they're really not useful. John On Sat, Nov 27, 2010 at 5:37

I'll take a look at the OOP chapter. I was playing with Objective C for a while so have a little of OOP figured out, but just the basics. The USRP2 is a nice piece of hardware. There is a danger, on the WBX, of the LNA blowing out the second stage amp if greater than -10 dBm is applied (and

Hello: What is the maximum recommended input signal power for the WBX daughterboard? Where can I find this in the documentation or online at Ettus.com? My understanding is that the LNA is very sensitive and it is easy to overload it and damage it. I thought it was 0 dBm, but I have seen
