Still no cigar

The SI tables are still not working. I have a set of SI tables provided by
Rob M0DTS and they work.

I have code that provides identical tables, same contents, checksums etc
and they don't work. Obviously I am missing something. I will figure it
out eventually.

On the theme of GUIs I have decided to use QT4 developed by Trolltech
(now owned by Nokia). http://qt.nokia.com/ I am setting up the
development environment as I type so more on that
later.

I have also been looking at all the DVB applications available for Linux.
I just wish I knew what they all did. Hopefully down the line it will be possible
to add receive support to my software using a suitable Linux tool.
I will have to do the demodulator but once I have the program stream extracted
it should be possible to feed that to a 3rd party tool for display.

I am ramping up my enthusiasm for the new UHD (Universal Hardware Driver)
from Ettus Research http://www.ettus.com/

This will allow cross platform support for their products. It will also allow closer

integration between my code and the USRP2. Currently no support for the WBX
transceiver board I use exists but it is coming. So watch this space.

I am always keen to hear from anyone reading this Blog, if you have any
comments,
criticisms, advice or questions please contact me, I don't byte.
