By combining modern SDR technology with an innovative system, we deliver true phased array performance at 90-95% below commercial alternatives—with open APIs that let you build your own applications. Technical Specifications: - The AERIS-10 comes in 2 versions: o AERIS-10N (Nexus) with Range up to 3Km o AERIS-10X (Extended) with scanning Range up to 20Km - Frequency: 10.5GHz - Antenna Type: 8x16 patch antenna array for the Nexus and 32x16 dielectric-filled slotted waveguide antenna array for the Extended version. - Electronically controlled Elevation and Azimuth Beam steering. (The prototype uses the 16 antenna elements to steer the Azimuth beam and the Elevation is performed using a stepper motor; but the designed system can be hacked to control both Elevation and Azimuth electronically. - Output: Range & Doppler of Multi-Targets - Interface: A GUI written in Python
Just posted about #SOURCE issue 4 and the future! Originally I committed to 4 issues, but, as a spoiler for the blog post, I'm going to carry on! Post mentions #opensource #gnuradio #freecad #openvsp #OSHWA #git and more!

On #macos #tahoe installed with #conda, I'm going slightly insane.
gnuradio (v3.10.12.0) depends on qt-main (v5.15.15)
gnuradio also depends on qwt (v6.3.0) which depends on qt6-main (v6.10.1)
So, now I have both qt5 and qt6 installed .. by the installer .. that fails when you attempt to run anything because there's two versions of qt installed.
Anyone?
I had the curiosity to do some tests transmitting and receiving DMR DMO with an unmodified #plutosdr
Normally DMR in repeater mode requires establishing a time base from the BS transmission in order to fit into one of the timeslots.
However, in DMO mode, there is no such requirement. When starting a DMO transmission, every terminal establishes its own time base, and the receiving radio must synchronize to it.
So DMR in DMO mode can work fine with the Pluto.
