America's radio lobby 'fighting dirty'
,----[ Quote ]
| Hollywood? That's not a daft guess. The MPAA is a lobby that wines and dines.
| The RIAA, you say? Get out of here! This once fierce attack dog is now a
| toothless old hound, its bark worse than its bite. It's only bloggers and law
| professors with a peculiar psychological quirk - (they love to feel
| victimised) - who have morphed the RIAA into the Beast with Many Heads. So
| that's not the right answer

GNU Radio: the open-source software defined Radio
,----[ Quote ]
| GNU Radio is an open source Software Defined Radio (SDR) project that was
| started about ten years ago by Eric Blossom, an electrical engineer. The main
| idea which is behind this project, as its founder says, was to turn all the
| hardware problems into software problems, that is move the complexity of a
| radio equipment from the hardware level to the software one, and get the
| software as close to the antenna as possible.
|

|
| The GNU Radio package is provided with a complete HDTV transmitter and
| receiver, a spectrum analyzer, an oscilloscope, a multichannel receiver and a
| wide collection of modulators and demodulators.
