Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Why Isn't GNU Radio Used More?

[Patrik Tast]

Hi all,



You are just totally wrong and have understood GNU Radio erroneously!

I wonder what your ear say when I say Software deinded Radio?
I hear versatile (modifiable) using software to define just my task.

GNU Radio is open software, if you want to listen at submarines, aircrafts, 
what ever satellites, etc
the CORE is in GNU Radio, mod it as you want. Notice, it aint easy (just 
like that) it takes skills and alot of testing.

> 1: jams so many different fields of expertise into one package.
It jams most fields (I'd say most if  not all), it is up to you to choose 
your field

I wont answer your 2, 3, claims since they are words from an uneducated 
user.
