Hi Patrik; Actually, within companies I have been associated with I have seen some of the divisions that Colby notes - both in the GNURadio context and in the context of other engineering / scientific packages. Some of my work involves getting the three groups to a common basis.
Your comment does touch on other application domains for GNURadio. The reality is that GNURadio is a near realtime SDF package. For instance, I can think of one application - multi channel high bandwidth sonar - for which GNURadio would be usefull. But, of course, in that case GNURadio would have to be renamed GNUSonar! :) On Mon, 9 May 2011, Patrik Tast wrote: > Hi all, > > > > You are just totally wrong and have understood GNU Radio erroneously! > > I wonder what your ear say when I say Software deinded Radio? > I hear versatile (modifiable) using software to define just my task. > > GNU Radio is open software, if you want to listen at submarines, aircrafts, > what ever satellites, etc > the CORE is in GNU Radio, mod it as you want.
