Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GPS tracking on a map over mobile app software using RF

[Marcus Müller]

Hi Antti,

that's not what software defined radio is about: The RF hardware in your 
phone is, at least from the phone's point of view, not a software 
definable radio, but a fixed-purpose radio. You can't just tune the 
hardware anywhere and send the data there.

So, no, that's not something you could use GNU Radio for, unless you 
attach an SDR device to your phone – but frankly, that doesn't sound 
like it's something you want to do.


Best regards,
Marcus
