LF: Slightly off-topic: 878a as an 896kHz ADC for a software defined radio

["Marek SQ5BPM" <sq5bpm@wp.pl>]

Hi all,

Maybe someone's interested, I just found this experiment at
http://www.domenech.org/ . In short, the author uses a TV capture card with
a Conexant Fusion 878A chip as a fast Analog to Digital Converter (16-bit /
896kHz!). Then he _directly_ connects an antenna to the input - see the
result at http://www.domenech.org/homebrew-sdr/spectrogram-lf.htm . Not
everything is translated to English, anyway - have fun. I'd love to
experiment with this but... unfortunately my TV card uses some other chip,
so I am now starting to look for some bargain at on-line auctions hi
