Ham Radio meeting about GNU Radio...

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Gang, FYI: I thought some of you might be interested in this meeting regarding GNU Radio. I think I'm going to attend, but admittedly its a lot closer to my house than it probably is to yours. Later, Andy - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [PART/WB1GOF] FW: 2/24 CWA Meeting on Gnu Radio Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2007 14:02:48 -0500 From: Steve Telsey <steve.n1bda(a)verizon.net> To: PART <PART-L(a)wb1gof.org> - -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Pettengill [mailto:ghp@space.mit.edu] Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 2:27 PM To: CWA Members Subject: 2/24 CWA Meeting Dear CWA Members, As you already know, there will be a meeting of the Colonial Wireless Association next Wednesday evening, 28 February at 7:30pm, in the Concord-Carlisle High School on Thoreau St. The invited speaker is Dr. Gregory D. Troxel, N1DAM, who is a network researcher at BBN Technologies working on software radios for the Department of Defense. Greg will give an overview of software-defined radio, a new technology that is already changing Ham Radio, and will talk about a free software radio package called GNU Radio. Greg will also describe a hardware front-end for software radios, the USRP, that uses daughter-boards for various functions, from transceivers for 440, 902, 1296 and 2400 MHz to boards for IF use. Greg's talk will highlight the challenges in changing GNU Radio from receiving continuous signals to packet radio. Following the talk, Greg will demonstrate GNU Radio and the USRP with several daughter-boards. Unfortunately, I will be unable to join you, but hope for a good attendance.

This 'n that

by Bruce Linnell

I want to thank everyone at Thursday night's meeting for the warm welcome. What a treat it was to be sitting in a group and being able to use words like "distro", "Gnome", and "YaST" without drawing strange looks. The pizza was good, too. :-) I learned alot, but not as much as I thought I had. When I tried to get my printer functional I must have forgotten or misunderstood the advice that was shared with me. (I will be bringing a notebook with me next meeting.) I've got openSuSE 10.2 and access the net through a wireless router. There are 4 boxes on the LAN and the other 3 are WinXP systems. The printer we use is connected to one of those machines. I can ping the printer host box from my Linux system. Printer sharing is turned on at the host, and the XP machines print fine through the LAN. The CUPS job monitor acts as if the print jobs are being sent, right down to the progress bar and the printer icon going from green to yellow and back to green, with no error messages. But of course, there is no page forthcoming from the printer or this email would have been much shorter. It sounded so simple at the meeting...

REMINDER: Upcoming Meeting

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, Sorry for the earlier test...Comcast was bouncing my emails to the list for some reason. That problem seems to have cleared since my test went through. We're scheduled to have a WLUG meeting on Thursday, February 15th, 2007 at 7:00 PM at WPI in the Access Grid Room. We don't have a definite topic, nor do we have anybody who has volunteered to be the speaker. Any takers? After the meeting, we'll head out for pizza at the Tech Pizza restaurant on Highland Street. Come one, come all, see ya there!

I can't ever turn down robots. Hacking cellphone is fun too, but that kurobox looks really neat.

Brian> 2) Hacking NAS storage with the Kurobox (www.kurobox.com) An Brian> very interesting device with a sordid history This is an interesting box, but the big limit is the lack of dual (or more) disks, since if I build a home NAS box, it's going to have RAID for sure. I'm thinking one of those VIA Epia motherboards (1ghz, fan less) with a pair of big disks mirrored would be a good home NAS box, esp with a SCSI controller, my DLT tape drive and bacula. The only issue is Mysql performance on disks like this, since Bacula is heavy on the DB. Putting in four disks, two RAID1 sets, could work wonders. But gets a bit crazy. :] John

I've been missing a lot, but that is due to personal issues on particular days, not a lack of interest. > I am by no means a speaker although I have given a presentation at > conferences and a LUG. I don't mean to insult past speakers, but don't let them scare you. The bar is not that high. We are not looking for Martin Luther King or Steve Jobs to sell us a dream. If you can stand in front of a dozen people and tell us about what you know without breaking down and leaking, you qualify. > I know there is a constant call for topics.

I suggest combining it all in a talk called "Getting off the Pentium" or something like that. You can always follow up with more specifics. Like "Running the Kurobox-770 Cross Compiler". I don't know what a Nokia-770 (a hanbdheld device?), nor what NAS Storage (Network Access, redundant S?), nor iRobot (Apple/Asimov ripoff by LEGO?) is, so I am bound to learn something no matter what you say about them. -- Keith

Topic for future meeting.

by Brian Waite

Hi all, I wanted to intorduce myself. I have been on the LUG list now for over a year, but 2 kids 22 mo and 5 mo old have kept me away from metings. I am by no means a speaker although I have given a presentation at conferences and a LUG. I know there is a constant call for topics. I was wondering if anyone was interested in one of the following 3 topics: 1) Linux Development on the Nokia 770. I have had one for a few months now and know quite a bit about it and the state of affairs. 2) Hacking NAS storage with the Kurobox (www.kurobox.com) An very interesting device with a sordid history 3) VERY tentitive. Developing Robotic applications on Linux for the iRobot Create. I should be able to get my hands on one of these along with some example code and show the capabilities of the iRobot Create (http://www.irobot.com/create) I could also combine 1 and 2 and talk of the general aspects of embedded Linux development. I have been active in this field for about 6 years now. Any takers? Thanks Brian
