[amsat-bb] How to tame gr-satellites?

[Edson W. R. Pereira]

Hi John and Hans,

I agree with all said and also share the frustration. Gnuradio is a huge
framework. It is a like a lego and the only way to make sense of things is
to understand how to use the blocks -- and this may require understanding
the guts of some of the blocks. Unfortunately gnuradio's documentation is
no so good from the point of view of an user. It expects the user to be
familiar with SDR and DSP. Many of the blocks have controls that can only
be understood after reading about their functions in a DSP book -- and that
on itself is not an easy endeavor.

Daniel´s gr-satellites is a remarkable piece of work and talent. I agree
with Daniel that his time is better used to develop and polish the modules.
I think what if could have more people using gr-satellites, we as users
could develop some howtos. Perhaps a discussion group dedicated to
gr-satellites could help. What do you think?

73, Edson PY2SDR
