Hi everybody, I'm a newcomer to USRP. I have a USRP1 with LFRX and LFTX daughterboards and I want to use it in the 10-15MHz bandwidth for both transmission and reception. I am not a very hardware guy and that's why I use a software radio... But I need to increase the communication range of my USRP. I think I need an external amplifier on the transmission chain to supply more power and an external lose-noise amplifier on the reception chain. Can you tell me if I'm on the right road and if so, do you have advices for the two amplifiers ? Thanks in advance

Note that transmitting with significant power without a license in the 10-15Mhz band can get some very mean people on your case in a hurry. -- Principal Investigator Shirleys Bay Radio Astronomy Consortium http://www.sbrac.org
