 Ever since I have been trying to find which of my amateur friends
subscribes to QEX so I can have a look at this article but without
any luck. So I was very pleased to tonight to discover the ARRL
have put both articles in QEX's software radio for the masses series
online. They are PDF's and can be found at ..

then scroll down to the software defined radio for the masses link.

 Part 1 has a lovely little circuit for generating an I & Q for a
soundcard from a signal between 100 KHz and 54 MHz (a local
oscillator source is needed also). It looks like it would be ideal
for the narrowband gnuradio and I don't think it would cost much
to make either.

 Have a look and see what you all think.

Ian
