Free darkness radio software for linux

GNU Radio is a collection of software that when combined with minimal hardware, allows the construction of radios where the actual waveforms transmitted and received are defined by software. What this means is that it turns the digital modulation schemes used in todays high performance wireless devices into software problems.
What is a Software Defined Radio?
Joe Mitola says, "A software radio is a radio whose channel modulation waveforms are defined in software. That is, waveforms are generated as sampled digital signals, converted from digital to analog via a wideband DAC and then possibly upconverted from IF to RF. The receiver, similarly, employs a wideband Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) that captures all of the channels of the software radio node. The receiver then extracts, downconverts and demodulates the channel waveform using software on a general purpose processor."
For our purposes, on the receive side, the idea is to get a wide band ADC as close to the antenna as is convenient, get the samples into something we can program, and then grind on them in software.
Enhancements:
- GNU Radio 2.6 includes sending and receiving data at up to 1Mbit/sec using GMSK. - Theres also support for the new USRP Flex 400 transceiver daughterboards.
- Handling of all daughterboards has been unified, so most apps will work without modification on any of them. For those of you interested in wireless networking, see especially gnuradio-examples/python/gmsk2. Weve got a framework in place to allow you to build and experiment with your own MACs. 2.6 includes the "null MAC". A carrier sense MAC is the next logical step.

GENRIP is a kernel driver (presently for Linux only) that enables you to carry ethernet frames over generic low-speed/low-power serial radios, such as Microhards MHX series radios. It is intended to speed up the development cycle for those creating low-powered Embedded telemetry and SCADA devices, but may have other applications as well. Once installed, the serial radio simply appears as a network interface like this:

[root@lindev]# ./ifconfig gr0
gr0 Link encap:Generic Radio IP HWaddr 00:00:02:04:06:08
inet addr:192.168.15.1 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP RUNNING MTU:234 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:30
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

GENRIP was originally based upon Stuart Cheshires STRIP driver, which is part of the Mobile Computing Group at Stanford Universitys Mosquitonet project. It has been radically modified since.

GENRIP was ported to this application by Lawrence Wimble of Design On Demand, Inc. Design On Demand, Inc. maintains GENRIP and hopes that youll call them if you need help with an embedded project using GENRIP (or any embedded project for that matter).

GENRIP is released for Linux under the GPL. A port to FreeBSD is planned in the near future.

KDE Radio Station presents you a list of internet streaming radio stations. Just select your favorite one, and the media player of your choice will pick up the right stream.

More than 40 radio stations (and more than 90 streams) are already available; thanks to the decentralized structure, many more sources like Icecast directories can be added via metaservers.

And you are now able to share your favorites with other users...

rico_RADIO is a little app for X under linux to listen to the radio.
This is how to install:
type (make sure that you are root) "make install" to compile and copy rico_RADIO to "/usr/bin"
Enhancements:
- volume-control
- mute-button
- many cosmetic changes

dbox2Tradio allows you to listen to radio and watch tv channels using external helper applications (xmms/xine). The shell-style script remotely accesses the dbox2 and performs any action via the (Neutrino) web-interface.

dbox2Tradio supports bouquets and is highly user-configurable. That is, before running, you need to adjust language and helper applications. Nevermind, its an easy task: Use the source! You need a dbox2 running Linux.

wmradio is small FM radio application. wmradio support skins and 6 preset stations.

Installation:

1. Edit Makefile and set PREFIX
2. make
3. make install

Configuration:

configuration is stored in file ~/.wmradio

Preseting:

1. Tune station what you want
2. click right mouse button into station button

KRadio project is a comfortable KDE radio application. The initial release was written by Frank Schwanz. In Jan. 2002 I took over the project to add some new features.
Main features:
- support for V4L and V4L2 based radio card drivers
- NEW: Timeshift playing: press the pause button and later continue listening where you stopped!
- NEW: dynamically loadable plugins
- NEW: Ogg/Vorbis recording (libogg/libvorbis required)
- MP3 recording (libmp3lame required)
- attended and unattended recording
- database with station preset files, station search
- lirc support
- alarms (weekday specific if you wish), stations and volume may be assigned, types: start/stop play, start/stop recording
- sleep countdown functions
- docking menu, includes menu entries for preferred stations
- quickbar, toolbar with buttons for preferred stations
- icons for stations in quickbar, display, etc.
- error logging window instead of nerving messageboxes:)
- plugin library architecture, kradio is ready for new radio types (e.g. internet radio), your own radio display, etc.
