Ask Eric Blossom about Software-Defined Radio

Posted by michael on from the modern-crystal-radio dept.

Eric Blossom is an electrical engineer with a history of working with radio and communications security. He gave a presentation at the recent H2K2 conference about his work with GNU Radio, which is, bar none, the single most exciting software project in existence today. (Imagine computing devices that communicate seamlessly across the entire electromagnetic spectrum.) As usual, we'll forward some of the best questions to Eric and post his responses when we receive them.

    which is, bar none, the single most exciting software project in existence today

    Some people may disagree with this sentiment.

    I, for example, am looking forward to Doom3 more than this project which I've only just heard about.

    How can you justify these wild claims?

  2. Buttons? Will it have Push-Buttons? by budalite · · Score: 2, Funny

    I really miss the old FM car radio pushbuttons. Then, again, I miss actually liking the music.

  3. Spread Spectrum Napster by dark&stormynight · · Score: 2, Funny

    Perhaps this could allow Napster to reinvent itself as a encrypted broadband spread spectrum music distribution service.
