So, I really love this discussion going on here. GNU Radio has, in the last one, two years, spend serious effort on building a better, more application-diverse community. And Hams are definitely one of the traditionally strong groups! One of the things the GNU Radio community did was introduce the "new" (now, not-so-new-anymore) Guided Tutorials [1]. These try to be kind of a one-fits-all introduction. When we started discussion on how to introduce new people to GR, the idea came up that we should kind of have something like a welcome page letting you select "I come from a ... background", and then introducing you to GR the way that has the least friction for you. For example, a computer science PhD might have less problem imagining a lot of parallel executed algorithms push data around in buffers, but have a hard time understanding what SNR means, whereas people that are more used to signals in a physical sense might have a harder time understanding the implications of dealing with a sequence of complex numbers instead of a continuous electrical signal. What's happening here right now is really *awesome*, because it's becoming an exchange on things to look at when you're an amateur radio person and want to work with GNU Radio. What we really need to do is write this stuff down, so it doesn't get lost. I've hence created a GNU Radio wiki page [2] for that, and would like to ask you to add your links and knowledge there. As mentioned, I don't really come from an amateur radio background, so it's kind of hard for me to know what concepts etc people will need to understand first when they encounter GNU Radio, so if you could add some sentences on what it feels like to use GNU Radio when you're used to having physical transceiver rigs, I think that would help a lot. Cheers, Marcus (wow, three Mar{c,k}i in one thread!)
