I was able to reconnect with #hams from #maryland and people I met at #hamsci, #cedar, #hamvention and #gnuradio conferences. Some folx I haven't seen since the #pandemic! It was good to be out and about. Everyone was cool but no one who was still working wanted their photos shared on #socialmedia because they were concerned about security issues and fear of a #facist planet. This is what it has come down to. SMH 4/4

Thanks. It relies on existing building blocks though, like #MMDVM , #GNURadio and the #DMR trunking controller (DMRTC) which has been in development for more than two years.
GNU Radio Gets A Makeover With PimpMyGRC

[idealdealy] had a problem. GNU Radio Companion was proving to be a powerful tool, but it just didn’t look… cool enough. The solution? A custom bit of software called PimpMyGRC, designe…

#SDR #gnuradio #radar

Open Source PLFM RADAR. Up to 20Km Range

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!

SOURCE Issue 4 and the Future!

  Way later than I ever wanted too, last week I published SOURCE issue 4 . It’s got three tutorials, one on GNU Radio where we step throug...

#gnuradio

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.
