[LAU] Listening to radio - is it possible?

[carmen]

actually linux makes a great radio. especially when the radio uses ALSA and Jack, of course...

GordonJCP had the bright idea to do this with SDR, essentially a stereo audio input is the 'raw spectrum' and output is demodulated audio, as a Jack App

however it did not have AM, or frequency-agility, so i added it:

now this is my main radio.. 


personally i use a Soft66, from http://zao.jp/radio . the softrock kits are also affordable ,and can be had for ~50 USD


soft66 specs claim 2.5 MHz to 75 MHz, but they do work to around 0.5 MHz fine, as you can see in the screenshot 


also check out Quisk/Linrad if using JAck for you radio is too radical
