+hfx.py is meant to be a full-featured Long Wave / Medium Wave
+and Short Wave (250kHz to 30Mhz) AM and Single Sideband receiver.
+It uses the USRP with a Basic RX board, and will need an
+antenna and some preamps, about 30db gain will work. See the
+'Help' menu or hfx_help for more info.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+hfx2.py is a major revision built about complex fir filter
+coeffecients ability and cleaner python script. Inherits
+most features from hfx.py - Powermate knob supported but
+not required, tooltip frequency display, single click
+tuning, AGC, record to disk, play from disk and record audio.
+New feature is ability to tailor the audio passband with two
+sliders over the spectrum display. The sliders almost align
+with the actual frequency. Preset filter settings for LSB
+(-3000 to 0kHz), USB (0 to +3000kHz), CW (-400 to -800Hz)
+and AM (-5kHz from carrier to +5kHz).
+
+AM now switches in a synchronous PLL detector with the
+carriers at 7.5kHz. The PLL carrier is displayed in the
+bottom display and helps show where on the upper spectrum
+the demodulated signal lies. Everything gets shifted up
+7.5kHz in AM, center frequency, tooltips, etc.  The target
+AM carrier needs to be closely tuned in, it will have a
+hollow sound untill it is locked, and then the PLL carrier
+in the bottom display will jump up and remain relatively 
+constant. There is a slider "AM sync carrier" to play with
+different levels to mix with the signal for demodulation.
+The filter in AM is preset to 2500/12500 (7.5kHz +/- 5kHz)
+and is handy for removing adjacent channel interference.
+Change AM_SYNC_DISPLAY in script for whether to show AM
+Sync carrier or not.
+Run with "-h" for command line help with setting USRP 
+ddc center frequency, decimation, rf data record, playback
+and audio data recording.
+
+There are some controls for controlling a varactor and
+tuning an antenna - just ignore them unless you want
+to build a voltage tuned antenna to track frequency.
+
+There is also code for Web based control of frequency and
+volume - so I can tune the radio with an Ipaq from bed.
+Disabled by default - it takes a web server, some
+directories and scripts to use.

+
+		HF Explorer Help
+
+	-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ Command Line Switches:
+
+	-c	DDC center frequency, set band.
+		-c 7.2e6 or -c 7.2M for 40 meter ham band.
+		Default is 3.9e6 80 meter ham band.
+		Example:
+
+		hfx.py -c 9500k 
+
+		starts up in the 31 meter band.
+
+	-a	Audio output file. Output file for 32kHz two channel
+		signed word audio. Two channels are used for
+		independent sideband. This file can be converted
+		to a wav file with sox. Example:
+
+		sox -c 2 -r 3200 file.sw file.wav
+
+		sox needs the .sw extension to indicate file type.
+		If not specified no audio file is created.
+
+	-r	Radio output file. File to write RF data to for later
+		demodulation. Records the entire band to disk, width
+		determined by sample rate/decimation. Be sure to
+		note the decimation and center freq for later use!
+		Example:
+
+		hfx.py -c 900e3 -d 80 -r rf_data_AM-c900e3-d80
+
+		writes a pre-demod rf file centered on 900kHz with a
+		bandwidth of 800kHz (That's 80 AM stations!). The
+		center and decimation could be put in the filename for
+		proper use later.
+		If not specified no rf data file is created.
+		At default 250 decimation disk usage is about
+		8Gb / hour.
+
+	-i	Radio input file. Use to play back a previously
+		recorded rf data file. Example:
+
+		hfx.py -c 900e3 -d 80 -i rf_data_AM-c900e3-d80
+
+		plays back the previously recorded band, no
+		usrp hardware needed. Tune about the 800kHz wide band.
+		When playing a recorded file, time controls
+		fast-forward and rewind are available.
+		
+	-d	Decimation. Sets sample rate and bandwidth.
+		This is the factor that the usrp sample rate, 64e6,
+		is divided by. Default is 250 for 256kHz bandwidth
+		which is enough to record a ham band without 
+		eating up disk space too fast. The 64e6 sample
+		rate limits the upper practical frequency to 32MHz.
+		The Basic RX transformer limits the lower frequency
+		to about 200kHz. 
+
+
+ Powermate Knob:
+
+	A Powermate knob is recommended but not necessary. If a knob
+	is used, it is in one of 3 or 4 modes controlling frequency,
+	volume, filter and (if playing a recorded file) time.
+	Pushing the knob switches mode and the buttons on the HFX panel
+	change to show which mode is in effect. Then just turn the knob
+	to set frequency, volume, filter or go fast forward or rewind.
+
+
+ Bandswitch:
+
+        Across the top are a set of predefined bands and buttons
+        to rapidly switch to the center of that band. To change a band,
+        type the frequency in Hz into the box under "Center Frequency",
+        then press "Set" on the left, then the button you want to
+        program. From then on (untill the program is exited) pushing
+        that button takes you to that band.  To make a band button
+        permenant edit the hfx.py script with whatever frequency you
+        want assigned to what button.
+
+
+ Frequency:
+
+	There are 6 ways to set the frequency.
+	1) Move the slider with the mouse
+	2) Use the Spin Control up/down arrows (very fine 1Hz control)
+	3) Type the frequency in Hz into the Spin Control
+	4) Turn the Powermate knob
+	5) Web control.
+	6) Clicking on the FFT display to set demod center. This is very
+	   convenient for tuning +-15kHz when you see a signal on the
+	   display. If in Lower Sideband, clicking just to the right of
+	   a signal will tune to it immediately. Clicking several times
+	   on the far right right or left of the display will rapidly
+	   tune up or down the band.
+
+
+ Volume:
+
+	Move the volume slider with the mouse, or push the Powermate knob
+	untill the volume button is active, or click on the volume button,
+	then turn the knob. Volume can also be set by web control if web
+	control is setup and enabled.
+
+
+ Filter:
+
+	Similar to volume, switches in any of 30 audio filters from 600
+	to 3600Hz in Sideband or up to 5kHz in AM.
+
+
+ Mode:
+
+	Demodulation modes are chosen by clicking on the buttons for
+	Lower Sideband, Upper Sideband, or AM.
+
+
+ PGA:
+
+	PGA slider sets the rf gain in the Analog-to-Digital converter
+	before digitizing. 0 to 20db gain easily shows up on the FFT
+	display.
+
+
+ Time:
+
+	When playing back a recorded RF data file, you can enjoy the
+	freedom of rewinding or fast-forwarding. Replay a weak signal
+	or skip through annoying AM commercials.
+
+
+ Antennas and Preamps:
+
+	The USRP Basic RX board is not sensitive enough for anything but
+	the strongest signals. In my experience about 40 db of small
+	signal gain is required to make the HFX as sensitive as other
+	receivers. Some working amplifiers are the Ramsey PR-2 with 20db
+	gain, fairly low noise and more bandwidth than we can use here.
+	Also the amp modules from Advanced Receiver Research are nice.
+	I use an ARR 7-7.4MHz GaAsFET 29db amp with .5db noise at the
+	apex of a 40 meter dipole with excellent results. Another
+	amp I like is a Minicircuits ZHL-32A 29db amp but they are
+	expensive and hard to find. Also it may help to use some filters
+	to keep strong local signals from the ADC, or limit rf input
+	to the band of interest, etc.  
+	Resonant outdoor antennas, like a dipole, in a low-noise (away
+	from consumer electronics) environment are nice.  Long random wires
+	with a tuner work. I like a small indoor tuned loop made from 10ft
+	of 1/4" copper tube, a 365pf tuning cap and a pickup loop connected
+	to rg-58. 
+
+
+ Web Control:
+
+	To control your radio remotely, ensure you have a web server
+	(Apache, etc) working and a compatible directory structure in
+	place. Directories /var/www/cgi-bin/commands and
+	/var/www/cgi-bin/state must already exist. You will need a
+	home page with forms and a set of scripts to put commands in
+	and put the current state on the home page. email me for further
+	help. Setting WEB_CONTROL to True in hfx.py turns on the timers
+	that check for commands and update the state.
+
+
+ IF Output:
+
+	There is a provision for outputting un-demodulated complex 
+	through the audio out in stereo for use with Digital Radio
+	Mondial (DRM) or using a seperate demodulation program like
+	SDRadio (by I2PHD).
+	Set IF_OUTPUT to True in weaver_isb_am1_usrp4.py.
+
+
+ --Good luck and happy LW/MW/SW Exploring.

+The files in this directory implement a fairly simple HF radio that works
+with the basic rx daughter board on the USRP.
+
+Many thanks to the Gnu Radio folks for a great new way to waste large blocks 
+of time in infinitely tweaking a huge number of free parameters.
+
+Start the receiver by running the radio.py in this directory. Or from the 
+Python prompt type "from radio import *" and you'll get the prompt back
+with the receiver running. You can then poke around to see what's going on.
+
+There are two spectrum displays. One is the output of the USRP and displays
+about 300KHz of bandwidth centered at the current tuning freq. The other
+displays the output spectrum of the demodulator.
+
+The demodulator does AM demod using the complex modulus block from gr. It 
+does SSB demod using the frequency translating fir filter as a complex
+hilbert transformer. The taps for this filter were generated using a program
+called Scilab and the Scilab program in the file hfir.sci. More details in
+the associated files.
+
+Tune the receiver using the spin buttons under the big frequency display.
+
+The agc block is a roll your own. The standard agc in the newer CVS updates
+seems to work but doesn't seem to have adjustable time constants or provide
+access to internal signal nodes which are used for the RSSI.
+
+The AGC authority (a sort of gain parameter) and the reference level used
+in the power to dB computagion can be adjusted using the spin buttons.
+
+The audio bandwidth can be similarly adjusted from about 50Hz to 10KHz.
+
+The GUI layout was produced using wxGlade. The file radio.xml is the GUI
+specification. It will produce a file called ui.py which is subclassed
+by classes defined in radio.py. The ui.py is purely generated by wxGlade
+all app specific code for the GUI is in radio.py. 
+
+Most of the actual signal processing code is built up in the other included
+files using the hierarchical block facilities. This organization should
+make it easier to tweak to your heart's content.
+
+Known bugs weakness and other
+
+wxPython and wxGlade seem to conspire to insure that the layout can never
+be exactly what you have in mind.
+
+Some of the controls don't behave as one might like. wx spin controls 
+and spin boxes only support integers so it is rather a nuisance to make
+units come out nice. In the process of development I came up with a reasonable
+kluge so there is a mixture of approaches.
+
+Enjoy.

+// designs a complex tap fir filter akin to the hilbert transformer.
+//
+// The hilbert transformer is classified as a linear phase fir
+// with allpass magnitude response and 90 degree phase response for
+// positive frequencies and -90 degrees phase for negative frequencies.
+// Or, if you prefer, normalized frequencies between .5 and 1 since
+// negative frequencies don't really have much meaning outside the complex
+// domain.
+//
+// Normally one would use the hilbert transformer in one leg of a complex
+// processing block and a compensating delay in the other.
+//
+// This one differs in the following respects:
+//  It is low pass with a cutoff of .078125
+//  The filter is a lowpass kaiser windowed filter with parameter 3
+//  The phase response is 45 degrees for positive frequencies and -45
+//   for negative frequencies.
+//  The coefficent set is used in one path and the same coefficients
+//   are used time reversed in the other. This results in the net effect
+//   of +/- 90 degrees as in the usual hilbert application.
+//
+// The coefficient set can be used in the gnuradio frequency translating
+// fir filter for ssb demodulation.
+//
+// This isn't as computationally efficient as using the hilbert transformer
+// and compensating delay but fascinating none the less.
+//
+// This program is for the scilab language a very powerful free math 
+// package similar to Matlab with infinitely better price/performace.
+//
+// compute the prototype lowpass fir
+// length is 255 (odd) for the same symmetry reasons as the hilbert transformer
