Hi all,

I am new to GNU radio and currently conduct research on 802.11 wireless  
communication.

I could like to make use of Software Defined Radio (SDR), to perform  
wireless transmission over radio frequency, as a modelling of satellite  
transmission.

Can GNU radio control the following product (ham-it-up v1.2) and  
transmit a file with RF (also for receiving)?

I found that this is hard to find documentation about SDR. Thanks for  
any advice.
