Hello everyone,
I hope this post is not out of line but I would like to purchase, trade,
or otherwise barter to obtain a USRP and modules for less than the
retail price. If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it.
I am very big into the Asterisk (Open Source PBX) community and could
certainly barter consulting services/hardware related to VoIP and
Asterisk. I am just low on cash flow right now (bought a bunch of HAM
gear) and cannot cough up the funds needed to buy the cards. I don’t
use credit cards unless I have the money to pay it off right away (sort
of like the Gold Standard".
I could wait but after studying this project, I am impatient to get my
hands on some gear and jump in. This project is by far the most
interesting and “Gee Whiz” thing that I have seen in a long time (if not
the most ever).
Any help is appreciated. If not, expect me to be a very active member
in another month or so.
Thanks,
Steve T.

You sound like me. I’m wanting to combine radio with Asterisk.
The two are complementary. wouldn’t it be neat to be able to
call up on 70cm band and exchange voice mail? Or use Asterisk
as a kind of audio switch to bridge UHF ↔ HF. A million
other things I can think of.
Back to GNU Radio. I’m not able to spend the $$ for A
USRP either. My plan is to go with a quality sound card. One
of the USB or Firewire “audiophile” types to get started then
my next step would be to get a better AD/DAC and buy an older,
used HF radio, Something in the $250 price range and modify it
such that the IF is made available on a coax connector on the
back panel.
If you have a sound card, that’s all you need to get started.
