GNU Radio Opens an Unseen World
,----[ Quote ]
| Matt Ettus has the sly smile of someone who sees the invisible. His hands
| fly over the boards of his Universal Software Radio Peripheral, or USRP,
| snapping them together with an antenna like Lego bricks. Then he plugs in
| the naked boards to a USB 2 cable snaking to his Linux laptop.
|
| After few minutes of normal Linux messing around ("Takes forever to
| boot.... Haven't got the sound driver working yet....") he turns the
| laptop around to reveal a set of vibrating lines in humps and dips
| across the screen, like a wildly shaking wireframe mountain range.
| "Here," he explains, "I'm grabbing FM."
