As I have said before, many of the GR docs are very USRP-centric. I disagree "that a huge fraction of people are learning on a USRP". I think most people who are starting GR, <b>other than in a classroom</b>, don't have the personal budget to buy a USRP, and starting a tutorial which is strictly for a USRP will totally turn them off. It did me when I was a newbie.

"Recycle Bin": content we no longer link to that we may eventually just delete

QT GUI Block Docs Status

These 3.9 GUI Widgets do not have doc pages:

  • App Background
  • Az-El Plot
  • Compass
  • Dial
  • Dial Gauge
  • Digital Number Control
  • Distance Radar
  • Fast Auto-Correlator Sink
  • Graphic Item
  • Graphic Overlay Sample Source
  • LED Indicator
  • Level Gauge
  • Msg CheckBox
  • Msg Push Button
  • Toggle Button
  • Toggle Switch

Notes from GRCon20 Docs breakout

  • document msg ports
  • we need a list of blocks without params or example flowgraphs
  • "How can I know which blocks to assemble to do X application"
  • "I want to do X processing, Is there a block already that does it, and if so, what's its name?"

Notes from GRCon20 HamRadio breakout

  • Thoughts on forming a GNU Radio Amateur Radio monthly meeting group
    • use BigBlueButton or Zoom
    • have a host / moderator present a topic with a demonstration
    • limit to one hour (especially if BigBlueButton)
    • a time on the weekend might be better - something like 20:00 UTC?
    • Barry Duggan will push out a news entry on the gnuradio.org homepage as soon as a kickoff seems feasible :) Marcus will help "as much as I can"
    • possibly start a GR Ham Radio mailing list like discuss-gnuradio
  • start a Ham Radio wiki page
    • poor SSB always gets the short shrift. -> tutorial on SSB
    • list of starter RF components for HF
    • It would be way cool to demonstrate bad signals in simulation, so that we can recognize them when we see them on air, and not be the ones doing bad things on the air ourselves.
