[A-DX] "Open Source Perseus"

["Stephan Schaa" <schaa@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hallo allerseits!


Ich habe gerade von einem Projekt eines Open Source DDC Empfängers gelesen,
das in naher Zukunft verfügbar sein soll:

The QuickSilver QS1R receiver is one of the most advanced Open Source Direct
Digital Conversion (DDC) receiver boards on the market today. It features a
LTC2208 125 MSPS 16 bit "at the antenna" ADC from Linear Technologies and an
Altera Cyclone 3 FPGA. The QS1R covers the frequency range of 15 kHz to 55
MHz. Connectivity to the PC is through a high speed USB 2.0 interface. 

The QS1R features expandability with an I2C and SPI/Microwire expansion bus.
Also planned is a PCI interface version of the QS1R with accompanying
DAC/transmitter board as well as various VHF/UHF/Microwave add-on boards.

The QS1R_SDRMAX group was created to provide a support forum for the QS1R
Receiver and the accompanying SDRMAX open source SDR software application.
Currently SDRMAX runs under Windows. A Linux version will soon be available.
Integration with GNU Radio is also planned.

The Windows based SDRMAX software source code is supplied as a Visual C#
Express 2008 project. Visual C# Express 2008 can be downloaded from
Microsoft and is free (as in beer). Both the SDRMAX Windows and SDRMAX Linux
software uses the open source DttSP DSP library written in C. DttSP can be
compiled with the Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2008 edition.

All software, firmware, and schematics for the QS1R product is released open
source under the GPL 3 License.
