[DSP-10] DSP-10 Linux software project announcement

Hi John,

Yes, I am very familiar with Leif's Linrad.

Then you may be interested in an adapter that Moe Wheatley AE4JY and I
started many moons ago.

   http://www.tapr.org/~n7hpr/sdr/

The adapter board that provides control of the DSP-10 effectively removing
the embedded DSP.  Then you connect the sound in and out of the DSP-10 to
your PC.  I did the hardware and Moe started the firmware.  Moe documents
some of the challenges on his web page at

    http://www.qsl.net/ae4jy/winxcv.htm

If there's sufficient interest, I could resurrect this project.

And as you are researching take a look at

  http://www.rfspace.com

  http://www.sdradio.org

73,

- Steve, N7HPR
