Elektor Sdr Software For Linux

Winrad is a free amateur radio program conceived by Jeffrey Pawlan, WA6KBL, that implements many Software Defined Radio (SDR) functions. Winrad will accept input from any Windows soundcard, from Virtual Audio. Download the support files for the Elektor SDR receiver published in the May 2007 issue of Elektor.

A subreddit for the low-cost, DIY software defined radio (SDR) community. While originally dedicated just to the project, relevant legal content related to general SDR, RF and similar projects is also welcomed. Feel free to ask questions but please. Rtl-sdr 'rtl-sdr' is a generic term for cheap USB digital TV (DVB-T) receivers that use the Realtek RTL2832U chipset, which can function as general purpose software defined radios (receive only). All rtl-sdr compatible devices employ the RTL2832U as an ADC and USB controller, but different RF tuners may be used. Note that rtl-sdrs do not transmit!

Typical specs (some depend on specific tuner): • Cost: ~$5-45 USD • Frequency range: 24 - >1760 MHz (100 KHz - 24 MHz in direct sampling mode) • Max sample rate: 3.2 MS/s (2.6 MS/s in practice) • Resolution: 8 bits/sample • Noise figure.
