Important instructions from Andrew Sutkowski of BAA H-Line group on how to set up RSP Duo software for interferometry

Andrew,

GitHub – WVURAIL/gr-radio_astro: This package provides GNUradio OOT modules and grc flowgraphs that fascilates Radio Astronomy Observations with software defined radio devices.

You can use either SDRAngel or the above.

SDRAngel is complicated as you have to create an output from the interferometry results in order to save the data.

Thanks Andrew – so do i need to load this Github code into GNU Radio in some way?

Yes,

Digital Signal Processing in Radio Astronomy

I found when I got to this point:-

1. Additionally you can create appropriate symbolic links

1. Check which python is the installed version of GNURadio by opening gnuradio-companion in a terminal window and click on Help --> About and noting the python version on the dialog box that opens.
2. Go to the following by typing: cd /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages or cd /usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages for the appropriate python version.
3. Type ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3/dist-packages/radio_astro

I needed to use sudo ln -s /…. to get it to work.
