The Basic Rx board is not what you want for this case.  Get the TV RX.


Just pick up a FM dipole antenna (the flexible wire kind) at Radio
Shack or drug store, etc.  You'll also need a 75-ohm-to-300-ohm TV
matching transformer to connect the FM dipole to the F-connector (R/S
15-1253C).  Total cost of both items is about $5.

Hi Eric

Per, you suggestion, I am looking at USRP and deciding what equipment to  
get.


It seems FM falls in the range of TVRX daughterboard. However it seems to  
require antenna and there is no antenna listed for this range. Will I just  
be able to plug in a TV antenna for it? Is there an FM receiver code that  
will work if I get Basic RX receiver.


Thanks
Inderaj

If you want broadcast FM, the USRP is pretty much your best bet.

USRP at ~$700 seems steep for my course project :(
Is there a way to get pre-generated FM input
(as opposed to random)

Thanks

Hi Eric

Thanks, I am looking at it now, but I don't have a USRP and this seems to  
require it (same with apps/hf_radio)


I also looked at your article on step by step FM and want to put together  
something like that. I don't quite know which device to pick for getting  
the input, any suggestions will help.


Thanks

Hi

I need someone with knowledge of gnu-radio (preferably
in the sf bay area) to help put together a multi-channel
FM setup on my home machine which is running linux
(no-USRP) and has gnu-radio sources built. I might also
need a little bit of simple code (utility) to be written.

Preferably someone this weekend of maximum by next
I am spending my time on a different part of the project.
and need this quickly due to limited time

Thanks
Inderaj
