I suggested porting rtlsdr library for a GSoC project, but= not takers; =C2=A0if anyone is interested in collaborating on this let me = know. the majority of the work is moving the library off of libusb and repl= acing the pthread junk with thread(2).

rtlsdr handles any DVB-T receiver that uses the RTL2832U -- = including the product from adafruit (btw, i have two of them and they work = great with linux and mac os x). =C2=A0you can do AM, FM and a lot more. i a= m using them for receiving ADSB and ACARS data.

Nice!

Looks like you forgot to include json.h

What DAC are you planning to use? And display?
The PiTFT touchscreen display looks interesting.

I need to find time to play with a couple of toys:

1. A software defined radio receiver. This may not be very
=C2=A0 =C2=A0straightforward as it goes through the dreaded USB.
=C2=A0 =C2=A0http://www.adafruit.com/product/1497

2. A GPS device, interfaces via a 9600 baud link.
=C2=A0 =C2=A0My goal is to have a stratum one clock.
