Universal Radio Grabber: the USRP

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-than-you-can-eat dept.

Nethemas the Great writes "The Universal Software Radio Peripheral or USRP created by Matt Ettus and Eric Blossom gives a new perspective on the radio spectrum, as in just about all of it from DC to 2.9Ghz. With the right software and daughterboards, their USRPs can capture FM, read GPS, decode HDTV, transmit over emergency bands, track peoples movement via their mobile phones, and much, much more. With prices starting at just $550 this new toy is accessible by most anyone."

    Hell, it's actually $50 less than a PS3! Buy two at that price, one for each hand so you don't feel compelled to shoot Jack Thompson in the face.
