{{>toc}} *NOTE: OsmoSDR has been phased out, the hardware is no longer available and the project is unmaintained* h1. Welcome to [[OsmoSDR]] [[OsmoSDR]] is a 100% Free Software based small form-factor inexpensive SDR (Software Defined Radio) project. If you are familiar with existing SDR receivers, then [[OsmoSDR]] can be thought of something in between a "FunCube Dongle":http://tetra.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/Funcube_Dongle (only 96kHz bandwidth) and a USRP (much more expensive). For a very cheap SDR (with limited dynamic range), you can use the DVB-T USB stick using the RTL2832U chip, as documented in [[sdr:rtl-sdr]]. It consists of a USB-attached [[Hardware]], associated [[Firmware]] as well as [[sdr:GrOsmoSDR]] gnuradio integration on the PC. The first generation hardware (1.2 MS/s) was available to interested developers from http://shop.sysmocom.de/ *but is now sold out* Hardware schematics and firmware source code are kept in a git repository on git.osmocom.org. * clone the repository like this: @git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmo-sdr.git@ h2. Picture This is a (slightly better) picture of the current developer preview: !osmosdr-beta.jpg! h2.
