- 1.3.1. Install lib-iio here: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/libiio
- 1.3.2 Install libad9361-iio here: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/libad9361-iio

- Install PlutoSDR dependencies for GNUradio (gr-iio toolbox https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/gr-iio/tree/upgrade-3.8)
- 2.1.1. Download file named "NBFM_transceiver_Pluto.grc"
- 2.2.1. Download a test *.wav file on this repo under /exampleAudio
- 2.3.1. Link your computer's microphone to the flowgraph, by modifying the "Audio Source" block, and changing the "Device_Name". First, find to your computer's microphone name (e.g. Internal Microphone (Realtek Device)).
- 2.3.2. Replace the Device "Internal Microphone (Conexant SmartAudio HD)" with your Computer's Device_Name with "quotes" (e.g. "Internal Microphone (Realtek Device)")
- 2.4.1. Replace the Device "Speakers (Conexant SmartAudio HD)" with your Speakers' Device_Name
- Assuming not already plugged in (If ever encountnering errors, replugin the device)
- 2.6.1. Start flowgraph and talk into a radio on 141.050MHz (default receive frequency).
- 2.6.2. Listen to the playback on your computer audio.
- 2.6.3. Or stop, enable the wave file sink, modify the file storage location, start the flowgraph again
- 2.7.1. This amplifies the TX gain, and lowers the RX gain
- 2.8.1 Tune your handheld radio to 136.050MHz
- 2.8.2. Playback the wav file on your pc. Listen to the audio in your radio.
- 2.9.1. Stop, enable the "Audio Source" (i.e. microphone), disable the "Wav File Source" start
- 2.9.2. Start the flowgraph and talk into the mic. Listen to the voice on your handheld radio (or another SDR)
- GNUradio flowgraph for a Pulse Radar tx/rx
- GUI to modify parameters in the transceiver flowgraph, using a low duty cycle(PRF)
- GUI to modify parameters in the transceiver flowgraph, using a high duty cycle(PRF)
- Download the PTT_Tone_gen.grc under /GNU3_8/ (can be easily modified for GNU 3.7)
- Play a tune/tone on a PTT using the slider bar to change the modulation frequency.
