Whether I is channel 1 and Q is channel 2 or vice versa depends on the hardware. In Linrad the user is supposed to edit users.c and rename it to users_hwaredriver.c to adapt Linrad to the hardware in use. At line 172 you would find: //************************************************************ // This routine is responsible for setting // int fg.passband_direction = -1 or +1 depending on whether the // hardware local oscillator is above or below the desired signal. //************************************************************ // This routine is responsible for setting // int fft1_direction = fg.passband_direction } With a softrock you always would have the same center frequency so you can set -1 or +1 to fit your hardware. You might set a sign that depends on the center frequency because you might use converters that reverse the received frequency band by having an LO above the signal frequency. Once you have changed the source code it is trivial to recompile Linrad from source code as long as you use Windows XP or earlier. It might be possible to use Vista in XP compatible mode but I do not know for sure. 73 Leif / SM5BSZ
