I am looking to venture into SDRs for educational purposes and getting some practical hands on experience with them. Any pointers to how I can start,
- which texts/tutorials?
which softwares to use?
which Hardwares to use?
The first question (which texts/tutorials?) can probably be safely asked on the main site provided you tag it with reference-request.
Regarding software, your best bet is to ask here.
And you really need to expand upon the hardware request... that's such an open-ended question I'm not sure where to start. ;-)
