I found this program yesterday: https://github.com/gordonjcp/lysdr
It's the GUI part of a minimal HDSDR/SDR# type program but it needs an IQ stream from something. It seems to be mostly intended for use with Softrocks but I wonder if anyone's been able to feed something like the output from rtl_sdr into it? It's got some Python and some C, requires Jackaudio. I was able to build it and run it under OpenBSD 5.2 without much trouble. Only does USB/LSB as written, Googling doesn't find me anything connecting it with any Osmocom stuff. rtl_tcp through Netcat might work better because it seems to want to control the frequencies. I've only got a couple of $20 dongles. ----- Radio Astronomy - the ultimate DX
Alan,
Good find!
Especially since there is talk of a new USB stock, Mirimacs, or something like that, that *could* be used for providing I/Q data.

I never heard of that one or any mention of it in the groups?? I got the DDS ad9850 wired to the arduino and the encoder, guessing on the encoder some with the pin outs, may have to change 2 wires if it counts the wrong way. In the morning I will start with the code oh boy can't wait for that, you know how much I like code. I am going to start with a fresh arduino download maybe that will help???

Has anyone tried the Mirics-based SDR dongles? They seem to have some interesting specs vs. the RTLshttp://blog.palosaari.fi/2013/08/mirics-msi3101-sdr-linux-driver.html (blog.palosaari.fi http://www.reddit.com/domain/blog.palosaari.fi/) submitted 3 days ago by oldmaninohiohttp://www.reddit.com/user/oldmaninohio http://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/1ny4s0/has_anyone_tried_the_miricsba...
Here is a comment from the above page:
"You can buy the reference design right from the manufacturer:"
Antti's LinuxTV Blog http://blog.palosaari.fi/2013-08-17 Mirics MSi3101 SDR Linux driver
http://blog.palosaari.fi/2013/08/mirics-msi3101-sdr-linux-driver.html
And since Osmocom is becoming the "middleware" for many SDR capable devices, this might be a good addition.
Sincerely,
Martin

Osmocom has had a driver for like 1 year ... http://git.osmocom.org/libmirisdr/ and if the lib is found, support will be built in the gr-osmosdr source as well ...
AFAIK one of their big downside is that each RF range has a different input and most dongles only have 1 wired in ... restricting the range a lot. But steve would know better.
Cheers,
Sylvain
