Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] UHF monitoring

Thanks for reply. I had one more question, if I was just monitoring the usage
of channel (it is being used or not at any moment), do I still need to write
complex gnuradio scripts? My guess would be that it should be easy to write
corresponding scripts since I am not trying to decipher received signal as
such. Are such scripts already available in open-source? Thanks a lot and my
apologies for not being very radio-literate :(

[Discuss-gnuradio] UHF monitoring

2010-04-11 Thread schuler101

Hi,

 I need to monitor usage of UHF bands (400-800MHz). I was wondering if this
is possible to do using the gnuradio. For this, I was planning to do the
following steps:
1. Buy an omni-directional discone antenna
2. Hook it up with gnuradio daughterboard (TVRX)

I want to monitor channels with bandwidth 6Mhz. In particular, I want to see
time-variant usage of channels in 400-800Mhz range. I do not really want to
decipher down the signals. Can you please check if my method is correct or
not. 

Thanks everybody.
George
